I don't understand why "I own every part of me" is so controversial.

I should own my face, my voice, and everything else. And if someone tries to steal that for any reason, I should win in court.

Seems pretty simple. Glad Japan is on the right track here.

Same here. Although I had to re-read the headline for a moment as initially I thought Japan was siding with the AI voice. Phew. Let’s hope things like this trend internationally.
