This statement explains how the services provided by HeyJenni relate to the record-keeping requirements imposed by 18 U.S.C. § 2257 (regarding visual depictions of actual sexually explicit conduct) and 18 U.S.C. § 2257A (regarding simulated sexually explicit conduct or lascivious exhibition of genitals).
This statement clarifies why those statutory obligations do not apply to the HeyJenni platform and outlines our commitment to operating the service responsibly and in compliance with applicable law.
HeyJenni operates an AI-powered conversational platform where users can interact with artificial intelligence characters.
The platform is designed for:
The primary output of the service consists of AI-generated text responses.
HeyJenni does not create, produce, or distribute visual depictions of real individuals engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
The following points describe why the statutory record-keeping obligations do not apply to HeyJenni.
HeyJenni is fundamentally a text-based artificial intelligence platform.
The platform generates conversational responses through machine learning systems.
Because the service produces textual outputs rather than visual depictions of real individuals, the record-keeping requirements of 18 U.S.C. § 2257 and § 2257A do not apply.
Users may be able to upload avatar images or character illustrations to personalize profiles or AI characters.
HeyJenni strictly prohibits images that include:
Images that violate these standards may be automatically blocked by moderation systems or removed during manual review.
Because HeyJenni does not host images depicting sexually explicit conduct involving real individuals, the record-keeping obligations of §§ 2257 and 2257A are not triggered.
The definitions under 18 U.S.C. § 2256(2)(A) and § 2257A apply to visual depictions involving actual or simulated sexually explicit conduct.
HeyJenni does not produce or distribute visual depictions that fall within these statutory definitions.
Our platform moderation policies and automated filters are designed to prevent such content from being uploaded or displayed.
Under 18 U.S.C. § 2257(h)(2)(A), the term "producer" refers to activities such as:
HeyJenni does not engage in these activities.
The platform does not film, photograph, or produce visual depictions of individuals engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
Accordingly, HeyJenni is not considered a "producer" for purposes of the record-keeping obligations under §§ 2257 or 2257A.
Although the record-keeping requirements of §§ 2257 and 2257A do not apply to the Platform, HeyJenni maintains strict content moderation practices designed to ensure compliance with applicable laws and platform policies.
These measures include:
Content that violates our policies may be removed and associated accounts may be restricted or terminated.
HeyJenni complies with all applicable federal, state, and international laws governing:
Where required by law, we cooperate with lawful requests from:
