Of course there are already censors, and I'd say that's a problem. Sharing CSAM or a copyright protected media file isn't speech though, and isn't protected by free speech laws.
- kelnos 2y agoCreating CSAM and posting it online is certainly speech, though, just as much as posting a legal form of original artwork is. But I'm 100% fine with the person responsible for that CSAM being censored and prosecuted, by the government, and that's exactly what will happen.
- _heimdall 2y agoIf you extend speech protections to cover creating and distributing CSAM you open the flood gates to a mountain of other actions that are crimes today. What is the difference in creating CSAM and creating heroine that would make the former free speech and the later a crime?
