A 13-year-old girl at a Louisiana middle school got into a fight with classmates who were sharing AI-generated nude images of her

The girls begged for help, first from a school guidance counselor and then from a sheriff’s deputy assigned to their school. But the images were shared on Snapchat, an app that deletes messages seconds after they’re viewed, and the adults couldn’t find them. The principal had doubts they even existed.

Among the kids, the pictures were still spreading. When the 13-year-old girl stepped onto the Lafourche Parish school bus at the end of the day, a classmate was showing one of them to a friend.

“That’s when I got angry,” the eighth grader recalled at her discipline hearing.

Fed up, she attacked a boy on the bus, inviting others to join her. She was kicked out of Sixth Ward Middle School for more than 10 weeks and sent to an alternative school. She said the boy whom she and her friends suspected of creating the images wasn’t sent to that alternative school with her. The 13-year-old girl’s attorneys allege he avoided school discipline altogether.

This problem won't stop until law enforcement starts treating deepfakes of minors as possession of child pornography with all the legal ramifications that come with it. Young boys need to understand that their actions have consequences.

In the meantime, no one under 18 should be on social media. I wish AI, deepfakes or in general, could just be illegal, but laws aren't catching up and people are being victimized.

100% AI image generation should be banned

[–] uncouple9831@lemmy.zip 80 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (4 children)

The headline is misleading. She was expelled because she was so frustrated by the incompetence of the administration and the police that she took matters into her own hands and attacked someone. I think it's justified, but the headline is misleading.

The same story could be told with "school and police fail woman being attacked" but since that happens every day, it's not as punchy.

I am sure people will interpret this as me trying to justify her being expelled or something but you people can fuck right off.

Shit like this is so common that the instant I read the headline I thought, ok, so what really happened?

The infuriating thing is that by its own metric it worked; I got successfully baited into reading the article. Fuck these shitty news editors to infinity.

The headline could have punched so much harder with the truth because it is divisive and justifies multiple ideologies.

"Preteen expelled for physical retaliation after school fails to protect her from AI deep fake nudes."

  • Justifies zero tolerance believers
  • Justifies feminists who think she should be a protected class
  • Justifies home school proponents
  • Justifies public School reform proponents
  • Justifies anti-AI crowd
  • Appeals to people for whom children ought to be protected

Give more truth in the headline and leave the opinions and slant for the editorial section.

Ooh you could have made it big in the pre-buzzfeed news era.

I've heard of this! It was called joor-nalism by our ancestors

Yeah but that headline tells the entire story and in a balanced way. You wouldn’t need the content to hold the eyeballs on ads

I sympathize. We should be able to vigilante a MFer if the police will not open a case. Porch pirates stealing packages? Package traps and rocksalt in shotguns. Corrupt government officials ... guillotine. Jury nullify this shit.

If the Sheriff couldn't get the images, it's because he didn't bother to. It's a well known fact that Snapchat retains copies of all messages

I think the adults here were just tech-illiterate school administrators from small town Louisiana.

I know everyone's justifiably outraged over this, but this just makes my heart hurt.

Imagine being a 13-yr-old girl being terrorized by CP of yourself being spread around the entire school and the adults that are meant to protect you from such repulsive crimes just shrugging their shoulders.

It's horrifying.

Now imagine how often rapes get unreported for the exact same image, this is what being a woman in this world is like.

[–] Lemming6969@lemmy.world 7 points 17 hours ago

Nothing is real or can be considered real anymore. We are going to need new frameworks to handle a world where video of illegal or embarrassing things can be trivially created by anyone.

People saying the Ai vendor should be liable, but that's short-sighted for a world where anyone can do this at home with largely anonymous distribution.

All the staff at that school who were involved should be charged with child pornography.

[–] tangonov@lemmy.ca 6 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

Create deep fakes of the staff and faculty. Email it to them and their spouses. See if they understand how damaging it is after that. I'm sure they'll want to give you a knuckle sandwich. Fuck them! If it were my child I would have stood by her decision

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Your heart is in the right place, but this is the deep south. That action by a local would likely end in the sheriff's office kicking in your door with a no-knock raid, shooting your dog and maybe also you.

When powerless people (like the girl in this article) complain they are dismissed and treated with suspicion by the authorities.

When the authorities complain their peers respond rapidly and with excessive force.

This is commonly called authoritarianism, but in the US they prefer the euphemism 'weak governance' because '-ism' words are unpopular.

Get sentenced to jail while the original person creating the deepfake of the student goes unpunished.

[–] tangonov@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 hours ago

If I were serious I wouldn't be showing it to them in person 🤨

AI is just highlighting existing issues in society, like sexism.
