The Korea Communications Standards Commission(KCSC), which oversees safety of online communications, convened an emergency meeting amid a growing use of deepfake technology in digital sex crimes.

The commission, which put forth response measures on Tuesday, is set to finalize them during Wednesday's plenary meeting.

The KCSC plans to post a separate banner on its official website to report to authorities of any damage from obscene, deepfake-based contents, while expanding the number of monitoring agents for real-time supervision.

The agency also plans to promptly open a direct hotline with Telegram, as part of efforts to prevent related damage, and to take all possible steps regarding a recent series of deepfake offenses, such as filing for a police investigation.

The use of deepfake technology has drawn much attention after a number of Telegram mobile chat rooms distributing obscene deepfake materials were caught.
