I think the issue is more basic than that, meaning that we should be able to create private online spaces and not share our photos and also not have a culture of sharing photos in such a way.
Deepfakes, AI and any other technology is going to happen and our way to control it is not to try and avoid technological advances but understand that our culture needs to be built upon the realization that such technology exists.
Don’t get me wrong, this is horrible for so many reasons but this is a losing battle if you just try to prosecute people who do it without also tackling the core issue.
I certainly wasn’t suggesting that we only tackle this legally. In fact, I was lamenting that even here, on Lemmy, the exact problematic social dynamics you point out persist

I do hope that the solution to this is not an iconoclastic removal of all photos from the internet
