I Talked to WIRED About Meta’s AI Double Standard

I’m in WIRED! I spoke with them for their report, “OnlyFans Creators Are Pissed That Meta Lets Muse Talk Dirty”, about the huge gap between what adult creators are allowed to do on social media and what those same platforms let their own AI products do.

If you follow me on socials, you probably already know this has been a long battle for me. Even with over 125,000 followers, my account is still restricted, and there’s pretty much always a report or appeal I’m working through with Meta. Even the Studio Vanniall Instagram has been hit with restrictions! Meanwhile, hyperrealistic AI content copying my image keeps popping up online, and getting it taken down is a constant struggle.

So you can imagine how I felt about Muse, Meta’s adults-only AI agent that’s allowed to have explicit text conversations with users. Meta is happy to make money off sexual interaction when it comes from their AI, but real people, real adults, can’t show any sensuality or sexuality on their platforms? It’s just not fair.

These aren’t abstract tech-policy questions for me. They affect whether I can control my own likeness, reach my audience, and run my business as an independent creator, in the same online world that’s rushing to embrace AI. I’m really grateful WIRED gave space to me and other creators to talk about censorship, AI training and moderation, because we deserve to be part of this conversation.

And if you’ve been tempted to try Muse, my advice is simple: stop downloading that app! You don’t need to give Meta any more of your money or your personal information. They have enough.
