Dear Readers And Haters,
I was going to stay away for much longer to prove a point, but the news just reached me today about President Trump signing the "Take It Down Act" which is a serious curtailing of First Amendment rights. Although what I make is fiction and should be protected as free speech and artistic expression this art form has always had some shakey legal grounds. From what I understand this act tackles not only the use of A.I. photos but also real photos in reposting as possible "revenge porn". Again all I write is fictional but we're in new legal definitions territory. Quite frankly I'm not even sure it was safe to post the last new ones I made. I had them as drafts though so that's it. Until this can be challenged in the courts & clarified being sorted out I cannot make more to post. I mean, I can make 'em but not post them. I don't know if a Purge is coming. Fighting the urge to just delete the blog entirely.
My advice is save and archive whatever you can while you can. It's been getting harder to know what new models are real or A.I. so I have no clue. Until a court overrules it or clarifies it it's now law where I'm at. So, back into retirement I go possibly for good due to this. The last 3 posts are my farewell until something happens that reopens up free speech again.
Sincerely,
Gensabi
Thanks for the Captions!! Good Luck!!
ReplyDeleteIm sorry to hear that you are leaving you are one of the all time grates or the TG captions. I wish you all the best and hope that you are able to return at some point in the future.
ReplyDeleteIt's gonna depend on this new law. It should be unconstitutional but the courts don't always see things that way, even the Supreme Court. It's a criminal offense too.
DeleteAlthough photo captioning is different from what the law targets it's going after the reposting of adult images or images of others without consent that could be argued to be classified as "revenge porn".
The broader scope of this could affect captioned images, memes, etc. It does include real photos, A.I. generated photos, deep fakes, etc.
We gotta see if the law gets challenged in court due to the 1st Amendment. Even then the current administration isn't exactly following court orders either.
👋 See you when you pop up again in a few weeks
ReplyDeleteMight be a few years depending on whether the law gets overturned in court if anybody even challenges it.
DeleteAlso by the way I was originally not going to post those new ones until December just to spite you. They only got posted this soon because I saw the news. I'm not coming back unless that law goes down.
DeleteWell thanks for all the memories and caps. Especially the high heeled boots ones. Gonna save them when I get back from work. Gonna miss your caps. Gensabi, Take care and may you live long and prosper and good luck with all your future endeavors.
