    If you’re not willing to fight for your constitutional rights, then you don’t deserve to have them, and you will lose them.

    Whether you think it’s right or not, being able to create nudified images of yourself is a perfectly valid and constitutionally protected action, just like making pornography generally. And any attempt to ban these apps would also restrict numerous other constitutionally protected activities and involve severe violations of privacy.

    If you want to make an actual reply that gets to the core of my argument, rather than just going, “bruh, you think you should be able to rob a bank, no I refuse to actually explain anything, if you don’t get my unstated point, you’re a moron,” then go ahead.

    Constitutional rights are important. You cannot choose to abandon them just because you find one application of them distasteful.

    We can ban AI child porn by just treating it like any other child porn. We don’t try to regulate child porn by outlawing cameras. Go after the actual crime you want to prevent, not the tools that have many legitimate uses.

      No, we try to ban it in its entirety by outlawing csam generating machines. Simple. If they can’t make they app without making the csam, they should not be allowed to make the app, and no, csam is not a first amendment right.
