Comment on US man used AI to generate 13,000 child sexual abuse pictures, FBI alleges
zaph@sh.itjust.works 4 months agoSection 1466A of Title 18, United States Code, makes it illegal for any person to knowingly produce, distribute, receive, or possess with intent to transfer or distribute visual representations, such as drawings, cartoons, or paintings that appear to depict minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct and are deemed obscene.
That’s nice, still illegal.

While true, it also wasn’t really what my post was responding to. Thanks though.

The thread is discussing why it’s considered abuse if you can’t point to a victim. The answer turned out to be “because the law says so.”

If you read the law you posted, it doesn’t actually address the question of victimhood. Also, I don’t really get why you’re still trying to force an unrelated point into this part of the discussion. Maybe find another place in the thread where someone thinks it’s legal and go talk to them.

If you don’t think you sound like you’re saying it’s legal/should be legal I have very bad news for you.
