Creator Platform Passes Faces Lawsuit Over Alleged Distribution of CSAM

The lawsuit accuses Passes and its founder Lucy Guo of enabling underage creators to produce and distribute explicit content, claims the company denies.

• Alice Rosenblum, an 18-year-old creator, has filed a lawsuit alleging Passes distributed sexually explicit content of her taken when she was a minor.
• The lawsuit names Passes founder Lucy Guo, talent agent Alec Celestin, and former director of talent Lani Ginoza as defendants, claiming they knowingly facilitated the alleged misconduct.
• Passes denies the allegations, stating it has strict content moderation policies and claiming the misconduct, if any, lies with Rosenblum's talent manager, Celestin.
• The lawsuit highlights broader concerns about the exploitation of minors on creator platforms, with Passes previously allowing creators as young as 15 under parental consent before banning underage users last month.
• Passes has faced additional controversies, including prior lawsuits over poaching creators and allegations of misusing AI moderation tools to bypass safety measures.
