🚨 EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY 🚨
I will no longer be posting identifiable photos of children’s faces on my photography page.
Signed release or not.
The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals recently ruled that privately possessing AI-generated CSAM depicting “fictional” children can be constitutionally protected when it remains within the home.
We need to talk about this.
The recent federal court ruling involving AI-generated child sexual abuse material is deeply disturbing. The court ruled that, under the statute at issue, the federal government cannot criminalize the private, in-home possession of obscene AI-generated CSAM.
Think about that for a moment.
With the technology available today, someone can take an image of a child, manipulate it with AI, and create something horrific from an innocent photograph. And the fact that our laws are struggling to adequately address what AI is capable of doing with children’s images is more than enough reason for me to take action.
I refuse to be a part of the problem.
If our government and our laws aren't going to adequately protect children from what AI can do with their images, then I feel a responsibility to do my part to protect them.
That means making the decision to stop publicly sharing identifiable images of children.
I will be getting creative with posing and storytelling so I can still share these beautiful moments that I capture with your families while keeping little faces out of my public portfolio.
I know some people may disagree with me. That's okay. But as a mom, I would rather be overly cautious when it comes to protecting a child than wish I had done more after something terrible happened.
I am a mom, and I will always protect any child as if they were my own. 🤍
