Kids are making deepfakes of each other, and laws aren’t keeping up Schools and lawmakers are grappling with how to address a new form of peer-on-peer image-based sexual abuse that disproportionately targets girls.

Many of the US state laws don’t apply to explicit AI-generated deepfakes, abuse that disproportionately targets girls. Fewer still appear to directly grapple with the fact that perpetrators of deepfake abuse are often minors. #onlineviolence #USA 19thnews.org/2025/07/deep...

#15: She Posted Every Day. Until She Didn’t. The Anastasia Grishman Story Her fans thought she was taking a break. Her friends thought she was busy. But behind the silence, something had gone terribly wrong. When Russian influencer Anastasia Grishman—known online as “grshmn”—suddenly went silent on TikTok and OnlyFans, her absence raised few alarms. But behind her carefully curated posts and growing digital presence, something was deeply wrong. Anastasia had been living in St. Petersburg, balancing work as a tattoo artist with an increasingly public life in adult content creation. At her side was her boyfriend, a man who managed her bookings, her income, and much of her life. As tensions in the relationship grew, so did signs of control, jealousy, and isolation. In this episode, we follow the final weeks of Anastasia’s life in the public eye—and the hidden events that led to a disturbing discovery. We also examine a broader pattern of exploitation and violence affecting online creators worldwide, and the systemic factors that allow it to continue, largely unchecked.
