I think it's pretty stupid. Borders on Thought Crime kind of stuff.
I'd rather see that kind of enforcement and effort go towards actually finding people who are harming children.
This is also my take: any person can set up an image generator and churn any content they want. Focus should be on actual people being trafficed and abused.
I've read it being defined as "victimless crime"; not that I condone it, but thinking about the energy and resources spent for such a large operation... about drawn porn? Cmon.
Even people who want this sort of image banned need to stop describing it like the real thing. These headlines drive me up the wall - like seeing people arrested for "simulated murder."
There’s a few in the White House.
Ehhhhh...
It also borders on real CSAM
Paracetamol "borders on" poison, but isn't.
Slippery slope is a logical fallacy, and there are actual consequences here. We need to do better.
Walk me through how any rendering "borders on" proof that a child was raped.
