A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Did... Did you just ask; why creating photo-realistic sexually explicit material of real children, should be illegal?

Keep in mind these were other kids their age. We're not talking about pedo stuff here.

All the recent stuff about deepfakes feels a bit moral-panic-y to me. I think we should have a better reason than just ick before anyone gets thrown in jail.

Do you want an explanation of why creating and sharing sexually explicit material of other people without consent is problematic and damaging, and especially for children?

[–] Eggyhead@kbin.run 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

This is a really good idea. Perhaps this is what should be happening in the first place rather than resorting to direct legal enforcement, which can be problematic and damaging, especially for children.

If you cant understand that sharing naked photos of people is bad, then you probably should have to face the court systems.

Like what? I don't care how horny you are as a teenager, it takes a real fucking idiot, and a huge shitstain to go and share those photos. They absolutely deserve the book being thrown at them.
