"You can't stop people from doing it so you shouldn't legislate against it"
WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF TAKE IS THIS
@colahpse basically any legislation can be used by politicians to do stupid shit, i don't think that's a good enough argument. if the bill is being written and explicitly talks about what i would like legislated then it's good. if they sneak other bullshit into it, then the bill is bad. it's all theoretical, i'm just saying that people dismissing it as not a big deal and "tons of people do it so why bother" are retarded
@colahpse there are already state laws that block this kind of thing and as far as i can tell, they're just fine
The kind of take that entails not giving politicians easy excuses to slide down that slippery slope. Using AI deepfakes to harass and alienate underage girls is reprehensible, but at the same time I don't trust politicians to not use tragedies like that to push for more draconian bullshit.
