A 13-year-old student was expelled from a Louisiana middle school after hitting a male classmate who she said created and shared a deepfake pornographic image of her, according to her family’s lawyers.

      My personal opinion - if he had not SHARED it with anyone and it was AI, I would chalk it up to teenage boy messing around, nobody was hurt, right? Sharing it with his friends is different, so different. That is distribution, and hardcore bullying that should get you expelled, if one punch gets her expelled. I don’t really have any idea of what the laws say when it’s a child doing this with a peer.

        If a child deliberately burns down a house, is it not arson? Crimes are still crimes, even when there is no legally culpable party. Falling trees do make a sound, even when nobody can hear them.

        The kid who did needs to be treated as an offender in every way but legally. Mandatory counselling, school-based corrections, suspension, that sort of thing.
