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 thoughts:

  1. Re the girl: expulsion seems like a really over-the-top reaction on its face, especially for a girl hitting a boy—my 'information is missing' senses are tingling hard. Did she beat him especially severely? Does she have a track record of prior violence? I'd like to at least see the school's own stated justification for expulsion over a simple detention/suspension, etc.
  2. Re the boy: I'm guessing the body of the AI'd image was an adult's (I feel like the article would have definitely mentioned it if it was an 'age-appropriate' body generated with her head). Pretty sure there's no statute that covers this sort of thing specifically, but from the article, he "was charged with ten counts of unlawful dissemination of images created by artificial intelligence". Ten counts, but the beginning of the article uses "image" singular; I'm guessing this boy generated an image each of a bunch of his schoolmates, and she's the only one who reacted physically.

This article has a bit more info, mentions that a group of students were spreading the images amongst themselves, but this one is still very light (read: 0g) on the details of the expulsion or the rationale behind it: https://www.wdsu.com/article/louisiana-ai-images-student-nude-law-change-possible/69365110

he “was charged with ten counts of unlawful dissemination of images created by artificial intelligence”

It might mean he shared the image 10 times as each sharing is a chargeable offense.

Expulsion over punching another student or even lesser altercations is super fucking common in the US. Especially if the person starting the fight is a minority. Shit man, a black kid was expelled for wearing an offensive t shirt in recent memory.

"Super fucking common" struck me as hyperbolic, so I dug a bit.

Here, under the most recent data, 2019-20, "Removal with no services for remainder of school year", which is close to expulsion but not quite as severe on paper (if I understand correctly that expulsion is 'you can't come back ever', not just 'you can't come back until next year'), is something that happened in response to "Physical fights or attacks" at only 5.1% of schools.
