janitor18 U.S.C. §§ 2257 & 2257A Compliance Statement

1. Purpose of This Statement

This policy explains how janitor's services relate to the record‑keeping requirements imposed by 18 U.S.C. § 2257 (actual sexually explicit conduct) and 18 U.S.C. § 2257A (simulated sexually explicit conduct or lascivious exhibition of genitals). It clarifies why those statutory obligations do not apply to our platform and affirms our commitment to lawful and responsible operation.

2. Basis for Exemption

2.1 Nature of the janitorPlatform

janitor is an AI‑driven text‑generation service. The core output of the service is text. We do not create or distribute our own images, videos, or other visual depictions involving real human beings.

2.2 User‑Uploaded Character Images

Users may upload static avatar or character images to personalize their interactions. We allow only images that comply with our content policy—specifically, no depictions of actual or simulated sexually explicit conduct, nudity intended for sexual arousal, minors in sexual contexts, or other NSFW content. Images that violate these rules are blocked automatically and/or removed upon review. Because no images depicting the conduct covered by §§ 2257 or 2257A are hosted on the platform, the record‑keeping obligations of those sections are not triggered.

2.3 No Visual Depictions of Actual or Simulated Explicit Conduct

Our moderation protocols ensure that no visual depiction hosted on janitor falls within the definitions of "actual sexually explicit conduct" (18 U.S.C. § 2256(2)(A)) or "simulated sexually explicit conduct" / "lascivious exhibition of genitals" (§ 2257A). Consequently, the statutory record‑keeping requirements do not apply.

2.4 Outside the Statutory Definition of "Producer"

The term "produces," as defined in 18 U.S.C. § 2257(h)(2)(A), refers to activities such as filming, photographing, or otherwise creating a visual image of an actual human being engaged in sexually explicit conduct. janitor performs none of these acts and does not host such content; therefore, the platform is not a "producer" for purposes of § 2257 or § 2257A.

3. Compliance Commitment

While the specific record‑keeping obligations of §§ 2257 and 2257A are inapplicable, janitor nonetheless:

  • Maintains a combination of automated filters and human review to screen all user‑uploaded images for NSFW or otherwise prohibited content.
  • Adheres to all other applicable federal, state, and international laws governing digital content and online services.
  • Cooperates promptly with lawful requests from governmental authorities.
