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.

      In Germany they have a law to where you own your own image so people cannot use your image without your permission.

        Cannot legally use your image.

        That doesn’t stop assholes from doing it and hoping to get away with it.

      There’s always the option of holding people accountable. The problem is that our society thinks that abusing women is the right of men.

      I’m just going ignore the fuckwits who think this is something to be ignored. “Stabbings are going to happen so we sound just learn to ignore them.” This idiotic logic could be applied to basically everything. People WILL break the rules, sure, and your response is “just let rampant child porn be a thing because it’s going to happen anyway.” No, you still try to prevent the bad thing from happening, because it will happen a lot more if you don’t.
