A Pokemon/fakemon trend I thought of recently that I'd like to see is people making hypothetical evolutions for the starters we've already seen. Like, say we had Cyndaquil but not its evolutions - what would people come up with to fill out the next two stages?

There are people better qualified to comment on this (I know @hipcrimevocab.net specifically has handled 1466A cases before), but a lot of people have very bad takes on this so I'm going to try to clarify. A 🧵 This ruling is only on *possession*. Creation, distribution, etc are still illegal.

Woke up to this news and I’m beyond disgusted. It’s a US *constitutional right* now to create and own ‘CSAM,’ as long as it was made with AI?? AI gen images are built from real images, of real children. This directly re-exploits every single CSAM survivor. (More in 🧵) #abolition #trafficking

A federal judge has ruled that the First Amendment protects an individual's right to privately possess child sexual abuse content created using Al if it does not depict a real person and remains in the home.
On Tuesday, Judge John Z. Lee of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th District ruled that the First Amendment protects an individual's right to privately possess images or videos of child sexual abuse created using artificial intelligence if the material does not depict a real person and remains in the home. In his ruling, Judge Lee urged the Supreme Court to reconsider the issue of virtual abuse material of children in the age of Al, suggesting that technological advances complicate existing legal precedent.
The case Lee ruled on came about in 2024 when the Department of Justice brought charges against Steven Anderegg, alleging that he used Al to create thousands of explicit images of children. He was accused of breaking federal obscenity laws by producing, distributing and possessing obscene visual depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Anderegg sought to have the possession and production charges dismissed under the First Amendment. Last year, a judge in the Western District of Wisconsin agreed to dismiss the possession charge, prompting the federal prosecutors to appeal.
Lee, in his ruling upholding the lower court's decision, cited the precedent set by Supreme Court rulings from 1969 and 2002. One held that individuals have a right to possess obscenity in the privacy of their home. The other found that "virtual" child sexual abuse material, not depicting a real person is not child pornography.

LRP: This is something I'm trying to get better at (as I don't really like to hold grudges, I am usually just frightened by the memory of a person as they WERE, especially if whatever they did was directed at me). IDK where I was going with this but, you know, yap.

General Reminder that people are allowed to grow and change with time. Many people do, when they choose to be better. 🤷‍♀️ Low key it gets on my nerves when someone tells me "oh *this person* is so bad, they said these mean things like 5 years ago." Or "they used to do *this thing* like in 2019." 😐 —

My drive to create feels entirely dead today and it's just like, scary. It's all I have and I don't know when the love I used to have for it will come back. I feel like I only get it in glimpses and flashes at this point. I'd probably hate it less if I still didn't have a commission to do.

I am tired of making excuses in my head for people who I know are still using Twitter. A fucking preschooler. Come the fuck on. Is whatever little you gain from using Twitter worth perpetuating the abuse and victimization of children through AI-generated CSAM? Is it really worth it?

If you still have a Twitter account, today is a great day to delete it. Nothing you could possibly get out of that site is worth having your name associated with child pornography. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

I think we can all agree that a grown ass woman adding random teenage girls on Instagram to "warn" them about their stepdad (her ex) is extremely fucking creepy and borderline grooming, right? White women need to be destroyed istg
