So you can generate it but not be in possession of it?

Apparently you can make it and own it if it’s all fake images. Something to do with the legal questions involved, if they illegalized this, then other non perverse things could be illegalized under that precedent. Unless congress steps up, (ha ha,) the judge might actually be in the right here I hate to say it.

Child abuse is always the trojan horse to take away freedoms it seems in the west.

I think a law saying no AI generated CSAM, whether or not the child depicted is real, isn’t an overreach into our fucking freedoms.

The same reasoning under our current criminal codes would open up anything and everything the authorities dislike to being forbidden.

Same reason they overturned community moral standard laws a few decades back. Used against the worst cases they could find, but broad enough for them to target everything, like regular pornography. (30 year felony in the precedent setting case, shitholy state GA or something.)

would open up anything and everything the authorities dislike to being forbidden.

No it wouldn’t.

Has before, will again. Your ignorance won’t protect you.

Damn this guy really wants his CSAM

You disgust me. I’m just gonna block you because dealing with you further is negatively impacting my ability to feel empathy. I imagine you have that effect on a great number of persons. I pity the people in your life.
