Introduction: The entertainment, music, and movie industries, while providing immense cultural value and economic benefits, have increasingly become environments where sexualization and abuse, particularly towards minors and young adults, are reported with alarming frequency. This proposal seeks to introduce groundbreaking legislation aimed at protecting individuals, especially children and young actors, through the mandatory use of detection technology embedded in jewelry like bracelets, anklets, or rings. This technology would monitor for drugs, alcohol, signs of unconsciousness, seizures, and stress hormones indicative of fear or duress, thereby creating a safer work environment.
Rationale:
- Protection Against Sexual Exploitation:
- The entertainment industry has been marred by numerous scandals involving sexual abuse and exploitation. This legislation aims to act as a deterrent by ensuring that any attempt at drugging or sexual misconduct would be immediately detectable.
- Public Perception and Industry Accountability:
- There’s a growing public outcry regarding the sexualization in media and the exploitation of young talents. This law would restore public trust by demonstrating a commitment to safety and ethical conduct.
- Preservation of Aspirations:
- Many young individuals dream of careers in entertainment but are deterred by the known risks. This technology could reassure parents and potential actors that their safety is a priority, potentially revitalizing these industries with fresh, protected talent.
- Parental Concerns and Consent:
- Parents often feel powerless to protect their children in these industries. This proposal would give them peace of mind, knowing there’s technology actively monitoring their child’s safety.
- Cultural Impact:
- By addressing sexual misconduct head-on, this legislation could shift the cultural narrative away from exploitation towards respect and protection, influencing content creation and industry norms.
Key Provisions of the Act:
-
Mandatory Use: All minors and actors under a certain age or in specific roles must wear the detection technology during work hours, during events or gatherings with other industry leaders, employees, actors, or their affiliates. That it be illegal to ask them to remove it at any time for any reason. That it be made available not just to young actors and children but to all of them.
-
Real-Time Monitoring: The devices would alert guardians, production legal teams, or emergency services if anomalies are detected, ensuring immediate response.
-
Privacy and Data Protection: Strict protocols for handling data from these devices to protect privacy, with consent mechanisms for minors and oversight to prevent misuse.
-
Industry Standards: Establish new standards for set behavior, mandatory training on consent, and the legal implications of misconduct.
-
Penalties for Non-Compliance: Significant fines or legal actions against producers or employers for failure to implement or falsifying compliance with these measures.
-
Education and Awareness: Programs to educate new entrants into the industry about their rights, the technology’s purpose, and how to seek help.
Conclusion: This legislation represents not just a technological solution but a cultural shift towards zero tolerance for sexual exploitation in entertainment. By implementing this act, we not only protect current and future talents but also restore integrity to an industry pivotal to our cultural landscape.
Call to Action: Support this bill to ensure that the entertainment industry becomes a beacon of safety, creativity, and opportunity, not a place of fear and exploitation. Let’s protect our children, our stars, and our collective cultural heritage.
About the technology:
This detection system would be in the form of a bracelet or anklet, ring or watch. That would scan the blood for abnormalities and toxins, it would also be capable of detecting seizures and would be a viable preventative measure for the disabled community and elderly for safety, this device would transmit location, and other vital health and life saving information to responders. It would include a signal activator the individual could use to call for help if required. It could be presented in colors to allow for editing its use out of a film. It would detect oxygen levels and heartbeat to prevent death and injury. The means to detect this already exists but is not currently applied in this manner.
It would detect drugs and alcohol, unconsciousness, fear, catecholamines, cortisol, oxytocin, seizures through electromagnetic disturbances. Particularly of interest is the detection of MDMA, opiates, date-rape drugs, and other various drugs used to facilitate these conditions. It may even include a microphone that when abnormalities are detected is activated and transmitted for evidence. The concept is to create an automated system that activates when it is needed.
This technology is not science fiction, it is science fact.
Recent advancements in technology aim to detect chemicals in the blood without resorting to radiation, focusing on non-invasive or minimally invasive methods.
- Biosensors: These devices are designed to detect biological, chemical, or physical processes by generating electrical, optical, or other signals. For instance, there’s ongoing research into flexible sensors that can measure blood alcohol levels or detect chemicals like formaldehyde in the air, which could theoretically be adapted for broader chemical detection in blood. These sensors work by interacting with specific molecules or changes in the environment, like changes in blood chemistry, and can be integrated into wearable technology or home testing kits.
Example: Engineers are developing sensors that could potentially be worn to monitor various biomarkers in real-time, similar to how continuous glucose monitors work for diabetics.
2. Chemical Imaging and Spectroscopy: Techniques like Raman spectroscopy and infrared spectroscopy can be used to identify chemicals without radiation. These methods analyze how light interacts with matter, providing a fingerprint of the chemicals present. While these are not directly used for blood analysis in the same way as radiation-based PET scans, they can be adapted for external detection if the technology advances to sense through skin or via minimal invasiveness like a skin prick.
Principle: By analyzing the light scattered or absorbed by blood components, these technologies could theoretically detect changes in chemical composition, although current applications are more in material science or environmental monitoring.
Another technology is the electromagnetic 3d imaging device made by NASA, that if reduced in size would be capable of taking snapshots of the blood, this could easily be facilitated to transmit signals from one side of the wrist to the other, analyzing the contents of the blood and transmitting it to a system that identifies the components.
I plan to submit this to congress myself in the near future.
