Last updated: August 26, 2026
1. Overview and statutory framework
Title 18 of the United States Code, Section 2257 (18 U.S.C. § 2257) and Section 2257A (18 U.S.C. § 2257A), together with federal regulations promulgated at 28 C.F.R. Part 75, require producers of visual depictions of actual human beings engaged in sexually explicit conduct to maintain specific age-verification and identification records for all performers depicted.
This statement sets forth the operational posture, statutory compliance, and exemption status of fv-chatter with respect to 18 U.S.C. § 2257 and related recordkeeping obligations.
2. 100% Synthetic and AI-generated content exemption
fv-chatter is an AI-powered conversational automation and messaging management platform. All conversational dialogue, synthetic audio notes, text interactions, and AI-generated visual media produced or orchestrated by fv-chatter are purely computer-generated simulations created via machine learning algorithms and software code.
None of the synthetic, computer-generated visual representations or automated conversational outputs depict or portray actual living human beings engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Under 18 U.S.C. § 2257 and 28 C.F.R. Part 75, purely synthetic, computer-generated depictions that do not portray actual living persons are exempt from federal performer recordkeeping and custodian requirements.
3. Real-human creator pass-through and platform verification
fv-chatter integrates with third-party creator hosting platforms (such as Fanvue) to assist verified creators with fan messaging, inbox workflow management, and CRM operations. With respect to any pre-existing human-produced creator media, profile photography, or vault assets:
- Mandatory Platform Age Verification: Every creator who connects an account to fv-chatter is an independently verified adult (18+ years of age) who has successfully completed mandatory identity and age verification (including government-issued photo identification and live biometric verification) through Fanvue’s official platform onboarding process prior to gaining platform access.
- Primary Recordkeeper: The primary records required under 18 U.S.C. § 2257, 18 U.S.C. § 2257A, and 28 C.F.R. Part 75 for all human-produced creator content and visual depictions are maintained by the primary hosting platform (Fanvue) and/or the respective verified creators who produced and uploaded the original content.
- Exemption as Secondary Service / Tool Provider: fv-chatter acts solely as a technological messaging and workflow automation service provider and is not the original primary producer or publisher of human-recorded media assets.
4. Representation of adult age (18+)
All synthetic personas, avatars, and conversational characters created, managed, or simulated through fv-chatter represent adult individuals who are at least 18 years of age. We maintain strict algorithmic and operational prohibitions against any persona, prompt, or simulation depicting or suggesting minor or underage individuals in any adult, explicit, or suggestive context.
