Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
There was an NRK article back in 2023 whose headline was basically "many people don't realize that sexualized drawings of children are illegal", I can't really share that article to this community because it's literally two years old at this point, but yeah, there is a serious problem with lack of enforcement or even just awareness when it comes to the laws around simulated CSAM. And this is obviously by design: the Purpose Of a System Is What It Does, and capitalism has a lot more to gain from only pretending to fight pedophilia than it stands to gain from actually fighting pedophilia and winning.
Well in many countries for example the US their laws are pretty wishy washy on it too. Like a reasonable person reading the law might think it makes it illegal but theres so many loop holes it might as well be written on Swiss cheese. Which they do on purpose so they can pretend to be moral while not enforcing it.
I translated the NRK article I mentioned in case you're curious.
