"For engaging in, promoting, or facilitating nonconsensual sexual content, including but not limited to: nonconsensual deepfake pornography; sexual violence, coercion, or abuse; or any other form of nonconsensual or exploitative material. Includes nonconsensual deepfake or AI-generated sexual content involving real individuals, or otherwise violates applicable Laws or platform standards on consent and impersonation.— Excerpt from Pika's Pika Acceptable Use Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages the DEFIANCE Act and state-level nonconsensual deepfake laws including those in California, Virginia, Georgia, Texas, and others. It also implicates the FTC Act and potentially the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act in cases involving distribution. The explicit prohibition aligns with requirements under the UK Online Safety Act 2023 and EU Digital Services Act for platforms hosting user-generated content. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High. The creation and distribution of nonconsensual deepfake sexual content is increasingly subject to criminal penalties in multiple US states and federal legislation. Platform-level prohibitions such as this one are becoming a regulatory baseline expectation for AI video generation services. JURISDICTION FLAGS: US federal law, state law in California, Virginia, Georgia, Texas, Illinois, and others create direct liability for individuals creating or distributing such content. EU/EEA users are subject to GDPR obligations regarding processing of biometric or sensitive personal data. UK users face obligations under the Online Safety Act. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise users or developers building on Pika's API should ensure their own terms of service and content moderation frameworks incorporate equivalent prohibitions to avoid downstream liability exposure. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should note that Pika's enforcement of this provision includes law enforcement referral, which may have disclosure implications for enterprise customers. Organizations should assess whether their internal acceptable use policies align with this prohibition.
