They're coming for AI tools next. Here in Australia they're rolling out the academic socialist activists on the public broadcaster. These experts know how to keep us safe apparently.
This morning it was all about "think of the children" in the context of banning AI tools that could potentially be used to make AI generated CSAM. Even adult nudity is in the firing line. Ban the lot was the advice from the expert. Not just banning access, but making it a crime to even possess the tools.
What next? Ban paint brushes because someone might use them to paint offensive images?
Some countries (like the UK) make it illegal to draw things.
Hell, the UK are currently criminally investigating anime artwork websites.
Just noticed Flickr is jumping on the child-safety alarmism:
"Flickr will now require all new users to be 18 years of age or older to create an account"
Not just for UK but global.
