alt Hacker NewsEveryone into childporn use uncensored models/sites deeply hidden from the public. Every single part of censorship is having a bad effect on the common world where normal people try to operate normally. The ones caught at this levels are not the interesting ones you want to catch.

Hentai depicting animated/drawn fake children means that 0 children were harmed, thus CSAM rules do not apply.
My guess is that slop generated CSAM images are NOT 'child sex assault' in any way. Are they icky? Uh, hell yeah. But it seems similar to hentai here. There's nobody being sexually assaulted. Hell, there is nobody at all - just a large multi-billion array of floats.

Leaving aside your source for that assertion… I’m reminded of the anecdote of a patrolman pulling over a speeding car:
“But officer, all of them were speeding too, it’s not fair to give me a ticket and not them!”
“You ever go fishing?”
“Yes…”
“Did you catch ‘em all?”
…I am absolutely interested in catching both dumb and clever child pornography enthusiasts. The fact that there are clever ones doesn’t mean I don’t want to catch the dumb ones too.
If anything, I’m more interested in policing the obvious entry points—even if I can’t do anything at all about the hard core of seasoned offenders, it seems easier for people to resist the temptation to start down that path if they believe they’ll be held accountable as soon as they first cross the line. Everyone’s capable of everything: there’s virtue in helping honest people keep honest, as it were.
