@lessonsfromtheminivan: This is nauseating — and the legal implications are deeply disturbing. AI-generated child sexual abuse material may be “synthetic,” but the harm surrounding it is not imaginary. When technology can create images virtually indistinguishable from photographs of real abuse, relying on an old legal distinction between “real” and “fake” becomes increasingly dangerous. What troubles me most here is the contradiction: acknowledging in a concurrence that the factual and technological landscape has changed dramatically, while still applying precedent as though nothing has changed. If courts continue treating increasingly realistic AI-generated CSAM as categorically protected speech, the law risks falling dangerously behind the technology it is supposed to regulate. This is exactly the kind of issue that needs clear appellate review — and urgently. #ChildSafety #ArtificialIntelligence #FirstAmendment #LegalAnalysis #protectchildren
