18 U.S.C. § 2257 Statement
Last updated 16 October 2026
EroticWriter generates text and hosts no visual media. This page explains why the § 2257 record-keeping requirements do not apply to it.
1. Whether these requirements apply
18 U.S.C. § 2257 and 28 C.F.R. Part 75 require producers of visual depictions of actual human beings engaged in sexually explicit conduct to keep records of the age and identity of the people depicted.
EroticWriter produces no visual depictions of any kind, and no actual human being appears in anything it produces. The record-keeping requirements therefore do not apply to it.
2. What the service produces
EroticWriter is a writing tool. Everything on it is text, written by its users with the help of a language model.
It does not generate images, video or audio, and users cannot upload them.
3. All characters are fictional adults
Every character in a work written on EroticWriter is fictional, and our Content Policy requires every character to be an adult. Sexual content involving minors is prohibited without exception, and sexual content about real people without their consent is prohibited as well.
4. No performers and no visual media
We engage no performers or models and obtain no photographs or recordings of anyone. We therefore hold no records of the kind § 2257 contemplates.
5. Custodian of records
Because the requirements do not apply, no custodian of records is designated. If the service ever begins to produce or host visual depictions, this page will be updated to name one before that happens.
