Clare McClure

Clare McClure is an Act Party Member of Parliament in New Zealand who recently gained attention for her bold advocacy against non-consensual deepfakes. She publicly held up a deepfake image of herself in Parliament to highlight the alarming rise of such technology and its damaging effects on individuals, particularly young people. McClure is pushing for legislative changes through her Deepfake Digital Harm and Exploitation Bill aimed at criminalizing the creation and distribution of sexually explicit deepfakes without consent. Her efforts reflect a growing concern about digital exploitation and the need for legal protections for victims in an increasingly digital world.
