Make "producing real or simulated CSAM illegal?"
Isn't it already? Has it provided any sort of protection? Many things in this world are illegal, and nobody cares.
Yes, I would argue that if CSAM was legal, there would be more of it...meaning it being illegal provides a level of protection.
I wonder why are you being downvoted, something being illegal puts fear in most people to not do it.
I've been wondering about this lately, but I'm not sure how much of an effect this has. There are millions of people in prison, and many of those will go on to offend again. Making things illegal can be seen as an agreement to a social contract (in a democracy), drive the activity underground (probably good thing in many cases), and prevent businesses (legal entities) from engaging in the activity; but I'm not sure how well it works on an individual level of deterrence. Like, if there were no laws, I can not really think of a law I would break that I wouldn't already break regardless. I guess I'd just be more open about it.
Though, people who cause harm to others should be removed from society, and ideally, quickly rehabilitated, and released back into society as a productive member.
It is where I'm at. Draw Lisa Simpson nude and you get a visit from the law. Dunno what the punishment is though. A fine? Jail? Can't say.
Edit: Apparently I was wrong, it has to be a realistic drawing. See here: 2010/0064/COD doc.nr 10335/1/10 REV 1
Lisa Simpson is shambles reading this
What about making depictions of other crimes? Should depictions of theft be illegal? Depictions of murder?
Why should depictions of one crime be made illegal, but depictions of other heinous crimes remain legal?
Because a picture of someone robbing my house doesn't revictimize me. Even if it's simulated, every time they run into some rando who recognizes them or every time a potential employer runs a background/social media check, it impacts the victim again
A picture of a cartoon child having sex doesn't victimize you either, the same way a drawing of a robbery doesn't victimize you
You mean being raped. What it does is let pedos feel like it's OK to be pedos.
Lol just like violent video games makes people think it's ok to be violent in real life?
Who is being victimized with a drawing of Lisa Simpson?
