If it's written porn does this apply equally?

If someone wrote a story about sex with kids could they be prosecuted even if it was never published or revealed. If it was discovered in a search or somehow came to light?

That's even more of an invasion of inner freedom.

I just see this as Overreach.

The pictures too, actually.

Especially if no actual children were involved.

Thank you. I wasn't clear on the law.

It seems a bit Excessive, don't you think?

Especially if it's a private collection in somebody's dresser drawer that they never share.

This really is a form of Thoughtcrime.

So if they could read minds....

Federal law prohibits fake kiddie porn?

Even hand drawn images?

That's my question.

If so,its a form of Thoughtcrime.

Public images were not my question. I realize this law is concerning public images.

I was more concerned about the idea that art or private collections violated Federal Law.

I'm still not clear about it.

Calling me dumb won't help.

Where would these "Troops" come from?

No draft and volunteers aren't going to be plentiful.

Now we're getting closer.

Perhaps I Did misunderstand the law.

So if someone uses AI to create a spank bank of kiddie porn for their own use it's Okay under this law?

It's only public images of Recognizable people that are prohibited?

Or are All Kiddie porn fakes illegal?

That's my question, as lame my as delivery has been..

Minus my face, is just showing an anonymous person getting railed by a horse a crime?

That's the point I'm trying to make and not succeeding.

Is the CONCEPT of Child sex itself a crime if visually depicted?

Is this like the Image of Mohammed, the very image itself, Criminal?

I'm not A Muslim.

I'm open to the Ideas of Islam, not a Full card carrying member of the club.

Snoofy is not discussing this in good faith.

He's doing his usual Gotcha Schtick of deliberately twisting the point that I'm trying to make.

Is creating or disseminating Generic images of sexually active children that are not derived from Actual models a crime in itself?

In other words is the very concept of Child Sex something someone should be locked up for even thinking about?

This is a hypothetical argument.

Is the very Concept, minus any Victimized individuals, a Crime?

Is this clear enough?

Still not replying in good faith.

I guess it's just the Snoofy way.

The point is, since you're so Obtuse,is any Art not derived from photography, such as Drawings or computer generated images of generic children, a Crime?

If so, on what basis?

Criminalizing the Thought?

Criminalizing the Illustration of Such Evil Thoughts?

What?

Such images certainly harm no children.

Kings are Tax Exempt.

Even if the stick figure had a drawing of a particular person's face attached, is it child pornography?

Or just bad taste.

If the images are private and not shown in public is mere possession of them a Crime?

How Totalitarian are you prepared to be?

Johnny.

If somebody draws a stick figure of a little kid getting boinked should the artist be charged with child pornography?

Askin' for, A Friend.

Not the normalization. Just no Malicious Persecution of stupid ----.

Does EVERYTHING really have to be a Federal Crime?

You bitch about Prosecutorial Overreach and Government Repression but are eager to give the Government every Power they Need to be Tyrannical.

Some laws are unnecessary, many, in fact.

If you want a weaker Government you have to limit the Legal framework they use to Oppress.

Not every public nuisance is a Federal Crime.

YET.

Vigilante justice for the Polluters.

Trump is Such an -------.

He's like,the worst POS imaginable.

Endangered Species, Pollution, Aggressive War, Income inequality, Corruption, Usurping Powers not his to Assert.

He's the biggest Criminal there is.
