SB 20 has passed the Texas Senate—an important step forward to protecting our children. I’m proud to support this legislation & look forward to seeing it become law.

A special thank you to my staff for their hard work, especially Kevin Patteson on passing his first bill! #txlege pic.twitter.com/4x2Q2o5yHo

Obscenity laws unironically make me want to
I missed the provision in the 1st amendment where freedom of expression is actually dependent on whether a committee of Karens finds it offensive or not.

Porn isn't speech. There's nothing you can say through porn that can't be expressed without the quality of it being titillating.

Surely no one would ever abuse the ambiguity of determining whether something it titillating.

That's why fentanyl should be legal. Surely no one would ever abuse the ambiguity of determining something's "potential for abuse"

Yes, fentanyl, truly an example of where the right drug policy is controversial.

You're a libertarian? You should have told me up front that you were special needs.

Paintings with exposed breasts literally say fricking nothing dude, all they are for is a boner

OK, lets make porn illegal except for old paintings with exposed breasts; that would satisfy both prudes and coomers.

I like when the libertarians make themselves easy to spot. Don't have to aim as hard

I somewhat agree with you since I lean libertarian (not the word-filter one lol), but this is clearly different than loli, since it can make it harder to track real CP.
Also, arguably your argument might be used for CP, which I assume neither of us support, so it's never that clear-cut.

Porn can make it harder to track real r*pe victims.
See how r-slurred that sounds?

Ai CP can be hard to tell apart from real CP, to a certain extent, which is not the case for lolishit

I do not know the difference between AI CP, CP, and lolishit.
I am assuming the difference is :
AI CP - real looking vids generated by AI. ( I am against )
CP - Real vids of kids getting molested ( I am against )
Lolishit - cartoon kids getting molested ( I am okay with and don't care about )

This bill is intended tl target the AI CP, from what I gather. It may also end up targetting lolishit, but it's a side effect that the politicians don't care about.

The trick to running a successful business isn't to close all leakages but to leave controlled corruption at the bottom to stop the entire structure from exploding. The cartoons are that stabilizing leak in my opinion.

I didn't read it tbh. IMO if it's trained on CP then it's reasonable to call the outputs CP. But banning AI generated megumins is silly.

tbh i dont think the ai generated images should be considered cp but rather the fact that it was trained with cp should be enough to have those bytes purged with a magnet.
and i think this is a transitive thing, so you cant train a model on images that were generated by a model that was trained on cp, and every permutation of that.
although that does mean that if existing ai gen sites end up getting some of that cp taint on them, they'll have to purge the model and start again. which i'm fine with :)

Agree, but what about AI that outputs "realistic" porn depicting children, being only trained on regular porn and regular images of children. See how quickly this gets muddy?

But like, the whole entirety of morality is based on Karens getting the ick or not
Why do you eat cows, fish and pigs but not cats, dogs and dolphins? Because the latter are cute

we also didn't breed dolphins for their meat, because we had other animals that were easier to handle.

If you wanna say frick Trump or how do I make meth or BIPOC on the Internet in America, you need Klansmen and Nazis and NAMBLA or loli-loving paedos to stand in front of you taking the blows. Once those groups go, America suddenly becomes England, and you're getting 180 days in jail for asking why immigrants can have guns but you can't.

I mean, yeah, obviously.
But so as long as pretend CSAM is being discussed, we have less time to docket banning doxxing or discussing deathfats or weening lolcows or banning slurs or criminalizing inceldom.
