Abstract/Summary

Given the prevalence of unconsented manipulated images, there is growing scholarly and legislative interest in regulating such images. This article offers a new taxonomy of unconsented manipulated human images based on clarity of manipulation and perceived subject consent. This taxonomy is rooted in subjects' interests in autonomy over their own image, and also accounts for other relevant actors' perspectives.
