MODERATORS
If I can try to summarize the main findings:
Problem #2 can hopefully be improved with better tooling. I don't know what you do about problem #1, though.
One option would be to decide that the underlying point of removing real CSAM is to avoid victimizing real children; and that computer-generated images are no more relevant to this goal than Harry/Draco slash fiction is.
And are you able to offer any evidence to reassure us that simulated child pornography doesn't increase the risk to real children as pedophiles become normalised to the content and escalate (you know, like what already routinely happens with regular pornography)?
Or are we just supposed to sacrifice children to your gut feeling?
Would you extend the same evidence-free argument to fictional stories, e.g. the Harry/Draco slash fiction that I mentioned?
For what it's worth, your comment has already caused ten murders. I don't have to offer evidence, just as you don't. I don't know where those murders happened, or who was murdered, but it was clearly the result of your comment. Why are you such a terrible person as to post something that causes murder?
I have no problem saying that writing stories about two children having gay sex is pretty fucked in the head, along with anyone who forms a community around sharing and creating it.
But it's also not inherently abuse, nor is it indistinguishable from reality.
You're advocating that people just be cool with photo-realistic images of children, of any age, being raped, by any number of people, in any possible way, with no assurances that the images are genuinely "fake" or that pedophiles won't be driven to make it a reality, despite other pedophiles cheering them on.
I was a teenage contrarian psuedo-intellectual once upon a time too, but I never sold out other peoples children for something to jerk off too.
If you want us to believe its harmless, prove it.
You keep making up weird, defamatory accusations. Please stop. This isn't acceptable behavior here.
Awful pearl-clutchy for someone advocating for increased community support for photorealistic images of children being raped.
Which do you think is more acceptable to Lemmy in general? Someone saying "fuck", or communities dedicated to photorealistic images of children being raped?
Maybe I'm not the one who should be changing their behavior.
FYI: You've now escalated to making knowingly-false accusations about a specific person.
Quality play. That'll absolutely convince people that you're the good guy if they somehow find themselves at the bottom of this thread without having read your wet mouthed defense of the sharing of photorealistic images of children being raped.
You've got a lot of dark, lewd fantasies about other people. Please don't post them here. I'm sure there's an NSFW community where you can post them instead; but you do not have my consent to post your dark, lewd fantasies about me and what sort of person you fantasize that I am. You've already crossed over that line.
Please stop.
I'm asking you specifically: stop inventing dark, lewd fantasies about me and posting them here.
Only dark, lewd fantasies about the sexual assualt of their kids right?
That seems to be your thing, but it's still off-topic here, and writing me as a character into your weird fantasies is still nonconsensual.
FYI: You've now escalated to making knowingly-false accusations about a specific person.
On the contrary, I accurately reported my impression and my refusal of consent for you to post any more fiction about me.
Please stop.
Don't worry, it's AI generated.
Such a signal exists in the ActivityPub protocol, so I wonder why it's not being used.
Well the simple answer is that it doesn't have to be illegal to remove it.
The legal question is a lot harder, considering AI image generation has reached levels that are almost indistinguishable from reality.
In which case, admins should err on the side of caution and remove something that might be illegal.
I personally would prefer to have nothing remotely close to CSAM, but as long as children aren't being harmed in any conceivable way, I don't think it would be illegal to post art containing children. But communities should absolutely manage things however they think is best for their community.
In other words, I don't think #1 is a problem at all, imo things should only be illegal if there's a clear victim.
