Ban AI-generated child abuse material nationwide
The Issue
As someone deeply affected by the recent ruling of a federal judge in Wisconsin—a ruling stating that child pornography is deemed legal if created by artificial intelligence and does not feature real children—I feel compelled to speak out. This decision is disturbing on multiple levels and deeply undermines the seriousness of sexual abuse content involving minors, regardless of whether the child is real or simulated.
A child is still a child, created with horrific intentions, whether in the flesh or as a digital fabrication. Labeling AI-generated child abuse material as legal sends a dangerous signal that exploits technological loopholes to bypass the stringent laws designed to protect society's most vulnerable members—our children.
The reality is, child pornography, regardless of how it is created, exists for the explicit purpose of sexual exploitation and perpetuates cycles of abuse and violence. According to a study by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, over 25 million reports of child sexual abuse material were made to the U.S. CyberTipline in 2020 alone. Allowing any form of such content to pass under legal scrutiny paves the way for normalization and desensitization of this grave exploitation.
We must demand action from our lawmakers to close this dangerous loophole and ban AI-generated child abuse material nationwide. It is crucial to stress that technology can and should be harnessed for the betterment of society, not as a tool for exploiting children—real or imagined.
By signing this petition, you join me in urging our elected officials to uphold the principles of human dignity and child protection by banning AI-generated child pornography nationwide. Let us stand firm against those who seek to commodify innocence and protect the integrity of our legal systems, which are designed to shield children from harm and exploitation.
Together, we can make a difference. Please sign this petition to show your support for a future where all forms of child sexual abuse material, digital or otherwise, are rigorously prosecuted and eradicated for good.
