I realize it's gross and icky and morally problematic, but I really wonder if trying to have the government crackdown on AI generated CSAM is worth the massive risk to freedom of speech and privacy that it seems like it's going to open us up to. It's a massive blank check to everyone to become a big brother.
There are no laws about it anywhere right now, but I'm sure it's about something more real. As this has played out many times in the past (Amazon, Apple, Google FB..etc) across many different policing agencies: if they identify a HUGE host that is a problem, they notify them first and allow them to address the issue before making themselves known and cracking down on the offenders. This just feels like that same thing again.
AI or not, if a court can prosecute a case, they'll do so.
