They are now at the point of calling me a disgusting person who doesn’t belong in civilized society because I am against the production, and use, of child pornography.

Give me a million attempts and I would never have guessed that is the person I would encounter today. haha

The only people who defend child pornography this hard are pedophiles, and I am not going to continue to argue with a pedophile.

I hope you get the help you desperately need before it is too late.

Victimless crimes are not crimes. Thus producing any pornography is a crime only when it involves violating someone’s rights.

You mean like when someone takes a photo of a minor, removes their clothing to make a sexually explicit image, and uses that image to harass, bully, and extort?

Ah, so you are dumb enough to think it’s bad to defend pedophiles who have not committed a crime against a real person?

Taking a picture of a minor, making that image sexually explicit, and using it to harass, bully, and extort that minor is not a “crime against a real person”?

Damn right, I am defending pedophiles who are being persecuted for being born with that deviation alone. I am also defending pedophiles who satisfy that via any means not harming real people. I will do both till my last breath.

You should stop “defending” their “right” to child pornography and start advocating for them to get real help with the very serious mental disorder that causes them to want sexual activity with a minor instead.

If you argument is that they are disgusting and you don’t want them in society, then so are you.

My argument is that they should not be given child pornography. Your argument is that they should.

The disgusting people I don’t want in society are people who use child pornography, and those who defend their use of child pornography.

Kindly see yourself out and take the rest with you.

What this conversation is about has as much to do with child pornography as hentai with loli characters.

Creating sexually explicit images of minors is child pornography.

You just can’t argue without unsubstantiated accusations, can you?

You literally confirmed my claim in your first sentence, and your last.

When real living people are being murdered and abused in droves, you are still worried more about glorified automated Photoshop and accusing its users of being the same as actual rapists.

Production of child pornography is production of child pornography. It does not need to involve rape. Producing child pornography is a separate crime.

Its users are pedophiles because they are producing child pornography. You are defending them.

These are the facts.

It may not be an identical scenario but I still think it would be fair to say that an AI generated image is not as damaging as a real one.

“The deepfakes are often used to extort, harass or bully minors, she says, and are easy to make because of the many sites and apps that will “nudify” an image.”

I wasn’t even supposed to be here today.

It is weird how hard you have been defending the production of child pornography in this thread.

The sexiest.

I agree weekends were a mistake.

It should have always been 2 on 1 off, 2 on 2 off.

Jesus Christ my guy we get it.

Now can you stop spamming this bullshit everywhere you can?

Chrome is now owned by a company, owned by a company, owned by another company, that is owned by Google.

In order to use any service provided by Meta one has to already have their head in the sand and pants around their ankles.

Asking for mindfulness in the face of the latest “moral dilemma” posed by Meta is simply not something the user base seems capable of.

What makes you think an AGI wouldn’t need our species in some way?

How is character.ai responsible for the suicide of someone clearly in need of mental health help?

Facebook doesn’t hand out your personal information to others, and if you think they do, then you don’t understand how targeted ads work.

It is explicitly stated in the TOS that Meta does indeed hand out your personal information to others.

If you think they don’t, read the TOS.

Is there major platform that is not a hot bed of bigotry?

No need for. Solar panels and batteries are at an historically low price and will even become more affordable. There’s simply no economical justification for nuclear energy.

How many solar panels and batteries are needed to power every electrical grid on the planet?

Where do we locate all of the panels and batteries?

Where do we get all of the materials for all of the panels and batteries?

What is the total cost to operate and maintain that global power grid?

What is the lifespan of the grid?

What happens to all of the panels and batteries at end of life, and how much does it cost?

Your phone.

Because social media is just that: media. They’re platforms for ads and marketing that are more akin to broadcast media with a parasocial interactive twist. Contrast that with social networking which facilitates connections between actual people.

At some point in the last two decades, those distinctions have blurred, often to great shareholder benefit.

That is one way to say a lot while saying nothing at all, and it is weird how many people want to pretend they aren’t using social media while using social media.

What are you doing to make “connections between actual people”? How is that different from anyone else using a different platform?

Lemmy is not social media to you because there is no one using it to advertise, market, or broadcast themselves to the greater population?

Or is it because there is no “media” available on the website?

Or is it just because you say so?

And? I can post definitions too! Dictionaries are not that difficult to use.

message board noun 1: a board or sign on which messages or notices are displayed an electronic message board 2: a public electronic forum that allows users to post or read messages or to post or download files and that is accessed by computer over a network (such as the Internet)

True, you can post definitions and demonstrate that dictionaries are very easy to use.

Try reading and understanding those definitions next.

When you are all caught up I won’t be here to finish whatever it is you are trying for here.
