  • It’s worth mentioning that in this instance the guy did send porn to a minor. This isn’t exactly a cut and dry, “guy used stable diffusion wrong” case. He was distributing it and grooming a kid.

    The major concern to me, is that there isn’t really any guidance from the FBI on what you can and can’t do, which may lead to some big issues.

    For example, websites like novelai make a business out of providing pornographic, anime-style image generation. The models they use deliberately tuned to provide abstract, “artistic” styles, but they can generate semi realistic images.

    Now, let’s say a criminal group uses novelai to produce CSAM of real people via the inpainting tools. Let’s say the FBI cast a wide net and begins surveillance of novelai’s userbase.

    Is every person who goes on there and types, “Loli” or “Anya from spy x family, realistic, NSFW” (that’s an underaged character) going to get a letter in the mail from the FBI? I feel like it’s within the realm of possibility. What about “teen girls gone wild, NSFW?” Or “young man, no facial body hair, naked, NSFW?”

    This is NOT a good scenario, imo. The systems used to produce harmful images being the same systems used to produce benign or borderline images. It’s a dangerous mix, and throws the whole enterprise into question.




  • Tbh, I think a lot of people are doing extended phone calls and discord convos these days. I can’t go to the grocery without hearing a few loud speaker phone convos, and back when I was more social online I’d leave Skype running in group calls for hours a day after work. (I especially hear Spanish convos over the phone in public from workers phones. I suspect many of these people don’t speak English well and are calling family and friends for social stimulation. I live in FL, USA)

    The only thing stopping me now, I think, is I live with my partner and spend tons of time with them, so my social battery is constantly low.









  • If the child is suffering from severe gender Dysphoria, there would be legal grounds for it, yes. The legal definition of child neglect in my country (FL, US) does not require any specific pattern of behavior. Parents are expected to attend to the mental health of thier children, and trans care specifically has been introduced to mitigate suicide risk. It can be a serious mental health issue.

    The principal question is: would it be reported? Plenty of parents abuse thier LGBT kids, causing permanent mental issues and even death, and get away with it. The likelihood that anyone would identify and report this hypothetical trans kid being denied care is low.

    Should there be a specific law? I don’t think so. However, should we train school officials, social workers, and medical staff to recognize and act on this sort of abuse? Yes. This would lead to better outcomes (the parent’s behavior being corrected).
