Question for the room: Does CivitAI's new "bounties" feature for requesting images of real people, complete with a virtual currency for bounty payment, vitiate #Section230 protection for bounty results that are illegal? (This is gonna be used mostly for nonconsensual pornographic deepfakes of women & girls. That's it.)

Does the bounty contribute to the resulting content's illegality under Roommates?

Did CivitAI even bother to think about 230 before launching this?

@riana I'm not a lawyer, but in theory, 230 would protect them from being liable for user submissions only. They could still be held liable for any illegal content in their solicitations or if the design of the system itself is intended to, and used to, subvert the law.
