"🚨 PUBLIC AWARENESS 🚨 I recently became a victim of AI deepfake misuse where my face was used without my consent on explicit content. That image is NOT me. I have reported the matter to the authorities. With todays technology fake images and videos can look very real. Please do not believe everything you see online. What I will NOT do is give attention engagement or traffic to such websites. If you come across such content please do not click share or spread it. Im sharing this to raise awareness because this can happen to anyone especially women. AI is powerful but it can be misused. Stay"
