It already is outlawed in the US. The US bans all depictions precisely because of this. The courts anticipated that there would come a time when people could create images which are indistinguishable from reality so allowing any content to be produced wasn't permissible.
Okay... So correct me if I'm wrong, but being abused as a child is like... one of the biggest predictors of becoming a pedophile. So like... Should we preemptively go after these people? You know... To protect the kids?
How about single parents that expose their kids to strangers when dating. That's a massive vector for kids to be exposed to child abuse.
Because they're computer generated images not children.
I appreciate you posting the link to my question, but that's an article written from the perspective of law enforcement. They're an authority, so they're incentivized to manipulate facts and deceive to gain more authority. Sorry if I don't trust law enforcement but they've proven themselves untrustworthy at this point
