Section A
Reflect on the following questions individually and capture your initial thoughts.
1. What are some examples of digital technologies? What are some of the benefits and risks associated with the use of digital technologies?
2. What does it mean to be a responsible digital citizen? Why is it important?
As a group, review the Deepfake Scenario card. Discuss and capture your initial response to the scenario by answering these questions:
3. Why do you think your friend created the deepfake nude of his ex?
4. What do you think your friend is hoping to gain by creating and threatening to share the deepfake with the guys in his class?
5. How might your friend’s ex feel if they knew about the deepfake? How would this situation affect your friend’s ex if he followed through with his threat to share it?
6. How might the guys in your friend’s class respond to viewing the deepfake image? How might others who are aware that the image exists or view it respond?
7. Even if your friend does not share the image, how has he already caused harm?
