Yeah, good luck simulating a terrorist attack at an airport, or simulating legal tender, or simulating a police officer.
There are plenty of laws that make it an offense to perform a simulation. Nitpicking the term simulation as being meaningless, whether in a legal context or otherwise, isn't a particularly noteworthy discussion to have. I think most people understand the meaning of simulated CSAM and can have an opinion on whether it should be legal or illegal without being pedantic about the word "simulated".
- Eisenstein 2y agoCSAM means something specific. It means 'a child was abused, here is evidence'. A simulation of that would be training materials for LEA or forensics teams to practice their craft. You are really stretching here, and it is not 'pedantic' to ask that specific terms have specific meanings especially when it is a legal issue.
- Kranar 2y ago>A simulation of that would be training materials for LEA or forensics teams to practice their craft. You are laughably misinformed on this matter in a way that is quite incomprehensible. You are welcome to refer to the legal definition as per the actual legal text instead of continuing to make rather bizarre claims on a topic where it's clear you know nothing about: https://www.congress.gov/bill/108th-congress/senate-bill/151/text https://www.congress.gov/bill/108th-congress/senate-bill/151... Even without having to refer to the actual text, I am confident most reasonable minded people understand the meaning of the term "simulated" and can take a position on whether it should be legal or not without arguing whether simulation means training materials or whether the term is legally meaningless. The fact that you don't is all I need to know that continuing this conversation with you is entirely pointless.
