🚨EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY🚨
From this point on, I will no longer be posting identifiable images of children on my photography page, signed release or not.
The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals just ruled that privately possessing AI-generated CSAM depicting “fictional” children can be constitutionally protected when it stays within the home.
That is enough for me to say I will not be a part of the problem. If our government and 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.
Will this affect my business?
I don’t care if it does.
I always want to give my honest attempt at living on the correct side of history.
The safety of children and my clients will always come before my business. Period.
If I have taken pictures of your family with your children’s faces visible, and posted them- I have already gone through and deleted the pictures with their faces exposed and identifiable. If I have not, please reach out so I can correct this!
With Gratitude and Love,
