Tim Sweeney vocally supports child porn and deep fake porn? He certainly looks like the type of creeper, so I guess I'm not *that* surprised.

I hate everything Musk is associated with and I have never and will never spend a dime in the epic game store. That said, I'm willing to stretch pretty far to say this quote might be more about his favoured type of reprehensible speech than csam: > All major AIs have documented instances of going off the rails; all major AI companies make their best efforts to combat this; none are perfect. Politicians demanding gatekeepers selectively crush the one that's their political opponent's company is basic crony capitalism. He wouldn't have a leg to stand on if Musk ignored/laughed off the whole thing instead of stupidly threatening the users posting the images but I guess that's the least we can expect these days instead of actual accountability.

I'll keep in mind Tim think child porn is just politics.

Are they *removed* or just this deep up their own assholes?

Yet another CEO who's super into child porn huh?

Imagine where Epic would be if they had just censored Tim Sweeney’s Twitter account. It’s like he’s *hell bent* on driving people away.

Not just asshole. Nonce asshole.

It is when one side of the political palette is "against" it but keeps supporting people who think CSAM is a-okay, while the other side finds it abhorrent regardless who's pushing it.

Nothing made-up is CSAM. That is the entire point of the term "CSAM." It's like calling a horror movie murder.

This is SO SURPRISING that in a Country run by JEFFREY EPSTEINS BEST FRIEND who's using YOUR TAX DOLLARS to Protect Pedophiles and Child Sex Traffickers that people would call the CREATION OF CHILD PORN A PROTECTED ACT!

There is no such thing as generated CSAM, because the term exists specifically to distinguish anything made-up from photographic evidence of child rape. This term was already developed to stop people from lumping together Simpsons rule 34 with the kind of images you report to the FBI. Please do not make us choose yet another label, which you would also dilute.

I am going to be an absolute crank about this: CSAM means photographic evidence of child rape. If that event did not happen, say something else. The *entire point* of this term is to distinguish the go-to-jail imagery stemming from unambiguous crimes, versus any form of made-up nonsense. Bart Simpson is not eligible. Bart Simpson does not exist. Photorealistic depictions of real children can be hyper illegal, but unless they are *real,* they're not CSAM. Say something else. Otherwise we'll have to invent some even less ambiguous term from *evidence of child abuse,* and the fuckers downvoting this comment will also misappropriate that, to talk about shit that does not qualify.

Tim Sweeney is into child porn

Dude, just stop jerking off to kids whether they’re cartoons or not.

'If you care about child abuse please stop conflating it with cartoons.' *'Pedo.'* Fuck off.

Strange hill to die on, man.

What, taking *child abuse* seriously?

Generating images of a minor can certainly fulfill the definition CSAM. It’s a child It’s sexual It’s abusive It’s material It’s CSAM dude. These _are_ the images you report to the FBI. Your narrow definition is not _the_ definition. We don’t need to make a separate term because it still impacts the minor even if it’s fake. I say this as a somewhat annoying prescriptivist pedant.

It's too hard to tell real CSAM from AI-generated CSAM. Safest to treat it all as CSAM.

There cannot be material from the sexual abuse of a child if that sexual abuse did not fucking happen. The term does not mean 'shit what looks like it could be from the abuse of some child I guess.' It means, state's evidence of actual crimes.
