Yeah, but, when it comes to generating NSFW contents, it is illegal to distribute pornographic software in some countries, and doing so can lead to domain blockage and such (i.e. South Korea, believe or not). This is something you gotta understand. Also, if the author wanted to block NSFW contents at all, I'm pretty sure one can actually make the filter inseparable from the main network. This isn't the case here AFAIK.

That makes no sense. You can draw whatever you like with Photoshop. You can search for whatever you want on Google. That doesn't make the software "NSFW", and no country will block Photoshop's domain just because someone used Photoshop to create NSFW content. Don't let people who are clearly motivated by a moralistic desire to control others hide behind BS pseudo-legal excuses.

  Explain this to insert regime when they block your GitHub repo or make using your software a felony. You are proposing to act on ideology, while such mitigations are rooted in pragmatism. You often can’t have both.

  1. Google do have a stuff called "SafeSearch"[1] to filter explicit contents, and they do have a DMCA-like system for processing violation reports from governments and legal entities. That is, Google is already cooperating. 2. Photoshop's sole function is to let people draw, so drawing a porn w/ Photoshop is 100% users' responsibility. In case of image generators, the AI itself has the capabilities to create NSFW contents. If you're talking about the interactive nature of "prompt", that logic also makes any adult games SFW - they are safe until the user clicks something.

SK and Germany are notorious for that. They don't care how the pixel arrays came to existence, any shapes and forms and representations, even links to such information, that are interpretable as belonging to certain categories are plain illegal there. I believe SK don't even recognize copyright laws for such "illegal" information.
