The only new thing here—from a societal standpoint—is a student being expelled for a single incident of fighting (zero tolerance policies).
Bullying and blackmailing people using manipulated images dates back to the invention of the camera.

I remember when Photoshop started to become easily pirated (via AOL, LOL). Around that time, kids we using it to paste girls faces on to other naked women's bodies. I also remember news articles from when Facebook was still new, with people creating fake profiles of people and sharing similarly-manipulated images.
What we need is for kids to be taught (in school) the first rule of porn: IT IS FAKE. Bullying will never cease but at the very least we can teach kids not to react so strongly to fake, transient nonsense about them.
They need to be reminded that when someone does something like generating a deepfake of them, it has no bearing on their life until it is distributed. They need to be taught how to gather evidence and the correct places to report such things.
We don't teach kids such things in school because schools want discretion. Since schools are so obviously failing to NOT abuse their powers of discretion with zero-tolerance policies, perhaps we should take that away.
Not from 13 year olds... what has changed now is the ability to create hyper realistic porn from a picture in seconds with one button click... that is very, very different from the past and glazing it over like this has existed forever is disingenuous.
Blaming the technology is useless and unhelpful. It's like blaming Photoshop for letting people remove their faces from obvious CSAM.
Kids need to be taught about this stuff! Bitching and trying to regulate the tech is a pointless waste of time. Teaching children how to deal with it is the only realistic thing that can be done.
Ah yes, make no regulatory framework and just the the kids sort it out without any possible help from the system, sounds brilliant.
The kids seem to know about this stuff just fine. It's not some lack of knowledge that was the problem here.
