"Generated sexual abuse" is explicitly being equated to actual child rape.
These 25 people were not charged with thinkin' real hard about the possibility of murder. The sting is described like they were caught doing some murder.
The 25 people charged may have had other incriminating evidence against them.
If you take issue with the law, take it up with the jurisdictions.
If you think it should be perfectly okay for people to produce AI-generated CSEM, then I'm not really sure we can come to an agreement here.
