Synthetic-media instruments, by article and effective date

Community rules and platform law, each read where it is written

StoryShort's pages state a plan, a series count and a per-video cost, and nothing about content rules. The clause-carrying side of this page is the article: a provider duty to mark synthetic content from 2 August 2026, a deployer duty to disclose deep fakes, and a narrowing for evidently fictional work. From 1 source page, read 2026-09-12; no maker pays to be listed.

Two kinds of rule, and the form each takesA rule written by a platform can be changed by the platform and binds whoever uses it. A rule written in an instrument carries an article number and an application date and binds parties in roles. The difference is in the form, not in how strict either is.What a community writesWhat an instrument writesWho can change itThe platform, whenever it likesThe legislature, by amending the textWhat it bindsWhoever uses that platformParties in roles: provider and deployerThe date attachedNot stated on the page readAn application date set in anotherarticleOne question, two kinds of text

1What this record already holds

The rows this record already holds for the article, quoted from the Explorer's text and dated: the date it applies from, and the duties a post about generated drama runs into.

2What the maker's own pages state

The pages at storyshort.ai describe a machine that turns a subject into finished short videos: voiceovers, background music and posting are handled, and a series is defined there as an automated feed of videos — one on the starter plan and four on the top one. A single piece is priced at roughly fifteen credits when it is a half-minute clip built from AI pictures, and around 110 for a longer piece the page calls an AI movie, under a plan quoted at $39 a month or $23 billed yearly.

Put the community question to the same pages and nothing comes back. There is no line about what may be posted, what a community forbids, or what happens to a video that breaks a rule. This record writes that as silence with the day it was read, not as an absence of rules: a platform may enforce plenty without publishing any of it, and the entry records the publishing rather than the enforcement.

The table below carries a second row for contrast, and it is a different kind of statement from a maker page: a licence line naming who may use the output and from which plan upward. That is the nearest thing to a rule a product page tends to carry, and it is about use rather than about content.

3What the instrument states

The clause side of this page is Article 50 as the Explorer prints it. Providers must mark synthetic audio, image, video and text in a machine-readable format; deployers must disclose content that is a deep fake; and where the work is evidently artistic, creative, satirical or fictional, the obligation shrinks to a disclosure that the content exists, made so as not to get in the way of enjoying the work. AI-generated text published to inform the public carries its own duty, which falls away where a person held editorial responsibility. The article applies from 2 August 2026, a date set in a different article.

Two things are worth keeping apart here, because community talk runs them together. The article does not say what may be made; it says what must be said about what was made. And the duties land on roles rather than on accounts: a provider is a party that places a system on the market, a deployer is a party using one, and the same studio can be both in the same year. Whether any particular production falls inside the narrowing for fictional work is not decided by this record, which quotes the wording and names the paragraph it sits in.

4Where each kind of rule is written down

The difference this page turns on is not one of strictness but of form. A community rule is written on a platform's own page, can be changed by the party that wrote it, and binds whoever uses that platform. An instrument is a published text with numbered articles, an application date and a territory, and it binds parties in roles that outlast any single service.

Recorded side by side, one column carries a paragraph number and a date and the other carries nothing, and that imbalance is itself the reading. It does not mean the community side is unregulated; it means that what a production can cite when a question is asked appears on the instrument side, while what a platform will actually do with a posted episode appears on neither, since this record reads published pages and not enforcement history.

5What the threads ask

The question behind this page was counted in the material as one that keeps returning: 47 near-identical threads, filed under platform policy. The count is of people asking, and the answers in those threads are written by other users rather than by any party that sets a rule.

That is the shape of the problem this page records. A question about rules is answerable from a text and repeatable from a citation; a question about what a community will do with a given episode is answerable from experience and changes with whoever is moderating. This record holds the first kind of answer, names the second kind as outside it, and does not blend the two into a reassurance.

A cell carries that maker's own wording for the point; a page that does not address the point is written as unstated rather than read as a denial. Order. Alphabetical by maker name.

One question, counted the way it was asked: near-identical threads filed under platform policy, put to other users rather than to anyone who sets a rule.

8Where the other one fits a schedule better

  • The output is meant to go straight out as a feed — The pages describe automated short videos with voiceovers and posting handled, and a series as an automated feed rather than a folder of files.
  • The budget is counted per finished piece — About fifteen credits for a thirty-second video with AI images is a per-piece figure, which is the shape a feed's schedule needs.
  • The entry point stays small — A starter plan quoted at $39 a month, or $23 billed yearly, with 400 credits, is a way to find out what a posting rhythm costs before committing a production to it.
