Photography is Poetry

NOTE : Going forward, I will no longer be posting identifiable images of children’s faces, signed released or not.  I will be blurring and covering children’s faces in the images even doubling it that I share publicly. It’s sad that this is happening but I would do anything to protect your children.


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. So, we should probably talk about the recent federal court ruling involving AI-generated child sexual abuse material. The court ruled that the federal government cannot criminalize the private, in-home possession of obscene AI-generated CSAM under the statute at issue so anyone can go and use any picture of a child’s face or body and make child sexual abuse material and it is completely LEGAL.
