Should be an offense everywhere. "Free speech" is a very nebulous concept to be sure, but this should be a hard limit everywhere.

- Grimblewald 3y agoAgreed, the capacity for real world harm these things have is enormous, while simultabeously the benefit is near non existent. The entitlement of some people to think they should have the right to make photorealistic sexual material of their unconsenting obsession is bewildering.
- 23B1 3y agoIt's an unpopular view here on HN, but their minds will change when it's their sisters or their daughters.
- Grimblewald 2y agoI agree, but I hope we can solve this before their loved ones become collateral.
- chrisjj 3y agoSince they currently do have that right, why would you be bewildered?
- 23B1 3y ago"It's the law" isn't a valid argument in the face of technological change. When laws are changed with careful consideration, for both individual rights and social good – well, that's the very essence of the social contract.
- chrisjj 3y ago> "It's the law" isn't a valid argument in the face of technological change. It is a valid argument where I used it - against your purported bewilderment.
- 23B1 3y agoBut your argument was wrong. People do not have the 'right' to do as they please with the image of another person. Plenty of constraints to speech exist, some are silly, some very reasonable.
- chrisjj 3y ago> People do not have the 'right' to do as they please with the image of another person. That's not the right under discussion. The right is, in your own words: "the right to make photorealistic sexual material of their unconsenting obsession". Your exaggeration of the scope does your argument no favour.
- 23B1 2y agoFortunately most lawmakers, for all their problems and issues, don't give a damn about pendantic nerds and will steamroll right over that argument - and rightfully so. This is one of those "I never agreed until it happened to me" type things.

- chrisjj 3y agoThe targetted behaviour is not any kind of speech. It really helps to try to understand the difference between creation and distribution.
