Dr Hayleigh Bosher, Reader in Intellectual Property Law at Brunel Law School, recently had her article ('Forced Faming: How the Law Can Protect Against Non-Consensual Recording and Distributing of a Person’s Voice or Image') published in Communications Law.
Forced-Faming, a term coined by Dr Bosher, refers to the involuntary recording and dissemination of an individual's image or voice, often occurring on social media platforms, without their consent.
Dr Bosher's article asserts the pressing need to revise existing laws to safeguard individuals from forced-faming, a gap in legal protection that requires immediate attention.
