• Abstract: As many as 8 in 10 adults share intimate content such as nude or lewd images. Sharing such content has significant benefits for relationship intimacy and body image, and can offer employment. However, stigmatizing attitudes and a lack of technological mitigations put those sharing such content at risk of sexual violence. An estimated 1 in 3 people have been subjected to image-based sexual abuse (IBSA), a spectrum of violence that includes the nonconsensual distribution or threat of distribution of consensually-created intimate content (also called NDII). In this work, we conducted a rigorous empirical interview study of 52 European creators of intimate content to examine the threats they face and how they defend against them, situated in the context of their different use cases for intimate content sharing and their choice of technologies for storing and sharing such content. Synthesizing our results with the limited body of prior work on technological prevention of NDII, we offer concrete next steps for both platforms and security & privacy researchers to work toward safer intimate content sharing through proactive protection. Content Warning: This work discusses sexual violence, specifically, the harms of image-based sexual abuse (particularly in Sections 2 and 6).

  Unlearning/editing-based methods for safe generation remove harmful concepts from models but face several challenges. We propose SAFREE, a training-free approach for safe T2I and T2V. We detect a subspace corresponding to a set of toxic concepts in the text embedding space and steer prompt embeddings away from this subspace.

• Non-Consensual Synthetic Intimate Imagery: Prevalence, Attitudes, and Knowledge in 10 Countries [0.0]
  Deepfake technologies have become ubiquitous, "democratizing" the ability to manipulate photos and videos. One popular use of deepfake technology is the creation of sexually explicit content, which can then be posted and shared widely on the internet. This article examines attitudes and behaviors related to "deepfake pornography" as a specific form of non-consensual synthetic intimate imagery (NSII)

  Sexual harassment, sexual abuse, and sexual violence are prevalent problems in this day and age. We have classified the three terms (harassment, abuse, and violence) based on the visual attributes present in images depicting these situations. We identified that factors such as facial expression of the victim and perpetrator and unwanted touching had a direct link to identifying the scenes. Based on these definitions and characteristics, we have developed a first-of-its-kind dataset from various Indian movie scenes.

• Can Workers Meaningfully Consent to Workplace Wellbeing Technologies? [65.15780777033109]
  This paper unpacks the challenges workers face when consenting to workplace wellbeing technologies. We show how workers are vulnerable to "meaningless" consent as they may be subject to power dynamics that minimize their ability to withhold consent. To meaningfully consent, participants wanted changes to the technology and to the policies and practices surrounding the technology.

  We propose a trainable image acquisition method that removes the sensitive identity revealing information in the optical domain before it reaches the image sensor. As the sensitive content is suppressed before it reaches the image sensor, it does not enter the digital domain therefore is unretrievable by any sort of privacy attack.
