Ok, but by that definition Google should be banned because their trawler isn’t guaranteed to not pick up CP.

In my opinion, if the technology involves casting a huge net, and then creating an abstracted product from what is caught in the net, with no steps in between seen by a human, then is it really causing any sort of actual harm?

Way to not answer the question.

It would probably make me distrust the prosecution, like if they’re bringing this up they must not have much to go on. Like every time a black man is shot by police they bring up that he smoked weed.

I guess my main complaint is that it’s insane to view it as equivalent to real CP, and it’s harmful to waste any resources prosecuting it.

This sounds like you’re searching really hard for a reason to justify banning it. Pretty tenuous “what if” there.

Like, a dildo could hypothetically be used to sexualize a child. Should we ban dildos?

It’s so vague it could apply to anything.

No one is out here making stupid-ass claims around child marriage.

Why are YOU so passionate about AI porn? Why do you people make this an issue at all when there are real actual kids out there being harmed?

Fuck off and die. Throwing accusations around like that, you should be ashamed of yourself.

With a set of all images on the internet. Why do you people always think this is a “gotcha”?

I’m offended by stupid-ass shit and feel compelled to call it out. Thinking AI-generated fake images is just as harmful as actual children getting abused is perhaps the most obvious definition of “stupid-ass shit” since the invention of stupid-ass shit.

If a child is not being harmed, I truly do not give a shit.

such material can easily be used to groom children

This literally makes no sense.

Correct. And even then, there’s vanishingly little CP on lemmy.

This ain’t the early 2000s. The unwashed masses have found the internet, and it has been cleaned for them. 97% of the internet has no idea what Matrix channels even are.

It’s fucking AI, the face is actually like 3 days old because it is NOT A REAL PERSON’S FACE.

That’s…what I said.

Search “AI woman porn miniskirt,”

Did it with safesearch off and got a bunch of women clearly in their late teens or 20s. Plus, I don’t want to derail my main point but I think we should acknowledge the difference between a picture of a real child actively being harmed vs a 100% fake image. I didn’t find any AI CP, but even if I did, it’s in an entire different universe of morally bad.

r/jailbait

That was, what, fifteen years ago? It’s why I said “in the last decade”.

typical file-sharing networks

Tox messaging network

Matrix channels

I would consider all of these to be trawling dark waters.

Brave

If you have stumbled on CP online in the last 10 years, you’re either really unlucky or trawling some dark waters. This ain’t 2006. The internet has largely been cleaned up.

That one browser which everyone hates despite it being the best adblocker and anti-surveillance browser out there randomizes your fingerprint.

This kind of price-fixing was central to the enforcement actions of the Biden administration’s trustbusters at the FTC, and their investigations and actions inspired state AGs and private parties to bring their own antitrust suits.

Saddest part of that article. We had someone trying to end this shit, and you brainwashed fuckers hated him for it.
