Everything bad - struggle with Adobe guidelines

I confess, I don’t understand Firefly sometimes.
I know Adobe is trying to avoid abuse of their AI.
 
But uploading an image (an image I own, I shot, I have the rights to) and asking Firefly to make this person smile only to then have it repeatedly shot shown by Adobe’s border guards is so frustrating. It literally drives me away from Firefly because why would I spend the money only to be told “no”?
 
No explanation - just “read this”.
 
There has to be something better than "because we said so”.
Give me a clue as to where you think this image or this request violates your standards?
How about some kind of appeal process?
I dunno. Something?

You want to make a video of her? She looks like a child and Firefly does not create videos of children (or persons it considers children)

The thing Adobe, and indeed politicians, needs to consider is that so as long as the original image of the person who looks like a child, but isn’t, is entirely legal anything that happens to that image subsequently is simply creating a photo-realistic cartoon that does not depict anything that took place to a real person in the real world. Cartoons should not be censored. It is not as if Adobe is being asked to publish it.

Hey ​@Useful Productions 
If the person looks like a child, Adobe is not going create an image: Plain and simple. 

There are other models that may do it. Adobe Firefly simply will not.

Cheers

I don’t want an argument. You are simply stating a rule I would like changed. That is not helpful to the discussion.

Can you perhaps show the image and your exact prompt?
