> The EU has no business dealing with people using SDXL finetunes on RTX cards in their garage.
I agree in theory, but all it takes is one deepfake video to cause the kinds of trouble the regulations are designed to stop, right?
No. Again, this regulation is about regulating businesses because that's what the EU is about.
The general use or creation of deepfake for porn, harassment, or election manipulation, is outside of what the EU can regulate as an institution, it is the responsibility of member states. (The same way the EU can impose rules on platform with respect to copyright violations, but cannot enact rules against piracy in general, these are always made by member states).
