Hey friends and followers... please share! A federal court just ruled that AI-generated explicit images are protected under the First Amendment—even if they depict minors—because they don't show "real" people. That decision feels dangerously backwards.
This isn't abstract. A Wisconsin man had hundreds of these images, and the court basically said it's fine. The problem? These "virtual" images normalize abuse and don't require a real victim to cause real harm. Laws written before AI existed can't keep up with what this technology can actually do.
I started a petition asking the Supreme Court to reevaluate this ruling and close the gap between free speech protections and the actual dangers these images create—especially for how they normalize sexual abuse of children.
Does this concern you too? Anyone else think there's a line between free speech and legitimizing something this harmful? If this matters to you, consider signing and sharing it.
