@Aldo2 the tip comes from the NCMEC, who in the past has told people to stop reporting loli because it is a waste of their resources.
here's an article about the actual law from california: https://a23.asmdc.org/press-releases/20240929-california-criminalizes-ai-enabled-child-sexual-abuse
a lot of governments across the united states and the world are starting to ban this, and it is pretty clear to me that it refers to realistic AI that actually resembles children and is trained on actual children.
this article also states that he had uploaded 134 videos of csam, which is completely different than ai generated images: https://www.timesnownews.com/world/us/us-news/pulitzer-winning-cartoonist-darrin-bell-arrested-for-child-pornography-details-article-117296411
@Aldo2 if someone seeks out or generates realistic AI porn of children i believe they are a pedophile, yes.
@beardalaxy @Aldo2 If someone takes a photo of a nude 8yo with her head cropped out, runs it through enough filters to not look photorealistic, is someone attracted to it a pedo?
@beardalaxy @Aldo2 Also, you should know I am reasonable enough to change my opinions if there is good reason
@beardalaxy @Aldo2 But I care about the hypothetical debate and not the shitflinging ragebait
