Section 2257 of Title 18 of the United States Code establishes record-keeping requirements for producers of visual materials that depict actual human beings in sexually explicit acts. The implementing regulation, 28 C.F.R. Part 75, applies similar requirements.
All visual content on Companioo is computer-generated by artificial intelligence. No actual human beings were used in the production of any visual content on this platform. Therefore, Companioo is exempt from the record-keeping requirements of 18 U.S.C. § 2257 and 28 C.F.R. Part 75.
Companioo does not produce content featuring real human models or performers. Every image of every companion displayed on this platform was generated by artificial intelligence. No photography of real human beings was taken, and no real human beings were used in the production process.
Because no actual human beings are depicted in sexually explicit content on this platform, the record-keeping requirements of 18 U.S.C. § 2257 do not apply. Companion avatars and imagery are entirely synthetic — generated by AI image generation systems trained on artistic and design data.
18 U.S.C. § 2257 and 28 C.F.R. Part 75 apply to visual materials that depict "actual human beings engaged in sexually explicit conduct." The statute is explicit about its scope: it covers content showing real people.
Companioo's content does not depict real human beings. Our companion images are not photographs — they are synthetic images generated by AI systems. They are not recordings of human performers. They are software outputs.
Therefore, Companioo is not subject to the record-keeping, labeling, or compliance requirements of § 2257.
