18 U.S.C. § 2257 Compliance Statement

This compliance statement is provided by F4NS Ltd (“F4NS,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) in relation to federal record-keeping requirements under 18 U.S.C. § 2257 and 28 C.F.R. Part 75. This statement explains how these regulations apply — and, in many respects, do not apply — to the F4NS platform, which exclusively hosts AI-generated content.

1. Nature of Content on F4NS

F4NS is an AI-exclusive creator platform. All visual content, including images, videos, and other media hosted on or transmitted through the F4NS platform, is entirely generated by artificial intelligence. Specifically:

• No real human beings are photographed, filmed, recorded, or otherwise depicted in any content on F4NS;
• All creator personas are fictional characters generated by AI systems;
• No actual sexually explicit conduct, as defined under 18 U.S.C. § 2256, involving real persons has been produced for or appears on the platform;
• Any resemblance between AI-generated content and real persons, living or deceased, is entirely coincidental and unintentional;
• F4NS does not permit the upload of photographs, video recordings, or other media depicting real human beings in sexually explicit conduct.

2. Applicability of 18 U.S.C. § 2257

18 U.S.C. § 2257 requires producers of “actual sexually explicit conduct” to maintain records verifying the identity and age of every performer depicted. The statute defines “actual sexually explicit conduct” by reference to 18 U.S.C. § 2256, which in turn references visual depictions of real people engaged in specific conduct.

Because F4NS content is generated entirely by artificial intelligence and does not depict real human performers:

• There are no “performers” whose age or identity requires verification under § 2257;
• There is no “actual sexually explicit conduct” involving real persons within the meaning of the statute;
• The record-keeping requirements of § 2257 and 28 C.F.R. Part 75 do not apply to purely AI-generated content in the traditional sense.

F4NS acknowledges that the legal framework surrounding AI-generated content is evolving. We monitor legislative and regulatory developments closely and will update our compliance practices as applicable law changes.

3. Our Voluntary Compliance Standards

Although traditional § 2257 record-keeping does not apply to AI-generated content, F4NS is committed to operating at the highest ethical and legal standards. We have voluntarily adopted the following compliance measures:

3.1 Content Generation Standards

• All AI-generated personas on F4NS are designed and presented as adults. F4NS strictly prohibits the creation, hosting, or distribution of AI-generated content that depicts or appears to depict minors in any context, including non-sexual contexts;
• AI content generation models used on the platform are configured with safeguards to prevent the generation of content depicting minors;
• All AI personas carry metadata confirming they are intended to represent adults aged 18 or older.

3.2 Content Moderation

• F4NS employs a multi-layered content moderation system, including automated AI-based scanning and human review, to detect and remove any content that may depict or appear to depict minors;
• All content undergoes automated screening before publication;
• Our Trust & Safety team reviews flagged content and user reports within 24 hours;
• We use hash-matching technology and perceptual hashing to identify and prevent the re-upload of previously removed content.

3.3 Creator Verification

• All creator operators (the real people who build and manage AI personas on the platform) are required to verify their identity and confirm they are 18 years of age or older before publishing content;
• Creator verification includes government-issued photo identification;
• F4NS maintains records of creator verification in accordance with applicable law.

3.4 Record Keeping

• F4NS maintains records of all creator operator identities, verification documents, and content publication history;
• Records of AI generation parameters and model configurations are retained;
• All content moderation decisions, reports, and outcomes are logged and maintained;
• These records are available to law enforcement upon lawful request.

4. Prohibition on Real-Person Content

F4NS maintains a strict, zero-tolerance policy against the upload or publication of sexually explicit content depicting real human beings. This policy is enforced as follows:

• Content uploaded by creators is scanned for indicators of real-person photographic or video content;
• Any content determined to depict real persons in sexually explicit conduct is immediately removed;
• The account responsible for the upload is subject to immediate suspension and potential permanent termination;
• If any real-person content were to be identified on the platform, F4NS would immediately comply with all applicable § 2257 requirements and cooperate fully with law enforcement.

Should the legal landscape change to require § 2257 record-keeping for AI-generated content, or should any real-person content inadvertently appear on the platform, F4NS is prepared to implement full statutory compliance immediately.

5. Reporting Concerns

F4NS takes all reports of potentially non-compliant content extremely seriously. If you encounter any content on F4NS that you believe:

• Depicts or appears to depict a minor;
• Depicts a real person without their consent;
• Contains actual (non-AI-generated) sexually explicit material;
• Otherwise raises compliance concerns;

Please report it immediately using any of the following methods:

Reports involving potential depictions of minors are treated as the highest priority and are escalated to our legal team and, where appropriate, to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and relevant law enforcement agencies.

6. Cooperation with Law Enforcement

F4NS is committed to full cooperation with law enforcement authorities on matters related to child exploitation, non-consensual content, and other illegal activity. We will:

• Respond promptly to valid legal process, including subpoenas, court orders, and search warrants;
• Preserve account data and content as requested by law enforcement;
• File reports with NCMEC when required by law;
• Provide all records and documentation reasonably requested in connection with an investigation.

7. Custodian of Records

While traditional § 2257 record-keeping obligations are not applicable to AI-generated content, F4NS has designated a Custodian of Records for all platform compliance documentation:

8. Changes to This Statement

F4NS reserves the right to update this compliance statement at any time to reflect changes in applicable law, regulatory guidance, or our internal practices. Changes will be effective upon posting the revised statement on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

As AI-generated content becomes subject to new or evolving regulations, F4NS is committed to adapting its compliance practices promptly and transparently.
