There's two controversies that are the opposite of each other.
1. Some people are mad that Stable Diffusion might be trained on CSAM because the original list of internet images they started with turned out to link to some. (LAION doesn't actually contain images, just links to them.)
This one isn't true, because they removed NSFW content before training.
2. Some other people are mad that they removed NSFW content because they think it's censorship.
That actually isn't the legal issue I meant though. It's not that they trained on it, it's that it contains adult material at all (and can be shown to children easily), and that it can be used to generate simulated CSAM, which some but not all countries are just as unhappy about.
