CDU-Frauen Union NRW demands tougher laws against digital violence
The CDU-Frauen Union in North Rhine-Westphalia is calling for more stringent measures to combat digital violence, arguing that the current federal government draft is insufficient. The group, represented by state parliamentarian Simone Wendland and chair Ina Scharrenbach, seeks to expand protections beyond sexualized or harmful imagery to include a broader, technology-neutral defense of digital identity.
Wendland, a lawyer and co-author of the proposal, noted that digital violence—including deepfakes, voice clones, and holographic manipulations—has a widespread and profound impact. She criticized the draft law presented by Federal Justice Minister Stefanie Hubig (SPD) for focusing too narrowly on specific types of content. The CDU group advocates for an independent and binding legal framework to protect digital identities against evolving technological threats.
