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.)
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.
It's literally just the nazi propaganda playbook for targeting queers, maintained by american conservatives ever since. If americans weren't so fucking uneducated I wouldn't need to explain this shit over and over again.

We already have laws against harming children, this shit isn't about protecting anybody. Any attempt to illegalize a situation where there no actual human victim exists will inevitably be repurposed to target minorities and dissidents. Happened before, about to happen again thanks to countless moralistic morons just like you
That is what I read anyway. pedo in chief would presumably quash republican support for a new law, but really with all the dems they could get enough pubs to go along, maybe not to override a veto but enough to force the old baby raper in chief to publicly refuse to sign a law everyone supports, (assuming it's not a freedom stealing bill, which it absolutely would be now that I think about it.)
