The situation started to get problematic after Zannat posted an emotional video of herself crying. Later, she explained that she was not distressed because of the ’19-minute video,’ but because two boys from her hometown used artificial intelligence to make a different, fake video of her that got virally spread. This reason has exposed her to a painful layer of digital exploitation.
