Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai are cowards - X’s deepfake porn feature clearly violates app store guidelines. Why won’t Apple and Google pull it? (www.theverge.com)

The thing is though… is it actually CSM according to the law if there is no real child involved along the way?

Legally, yes. The law in the UK also includes images of children that are drawn or computer generated.

I had kind of assumed this was the case in a lot of countries with one of the more prominent exception being Japan (we have a lot of fucked up manga/anime).

Japan had legal Child Porn until disconcertingly recently.

Good. I also read a bit more into it and while I’m not located in the UK apparently there is a specific extension to the law that also includes drawings and “collage” type edits. It doesn’t mention AI yet but surely this should count.

RIP my search history. But I’m glad we don’t need to wait for the law to catch up (in some places). Now all we have to do is scream from the rooftops that the laws need to be applied. Or even better: sue someone.
