If the images are private and not shown in public is mere possession of them a Crime?
#13 | Posted by Effeteposer

You clearly do not understand what this law is about. The images targeted by this law are not private. They are being generated on a remote system and being transmitted over a public network. Many AI platforms permanently store the images that they generate. That video of the ten year old girl killed by a Russian bomb that prompted you to ask grok to recreate the pool scene from Fast Times only replacing Phoebe Cates with the bomb victim and you in place of Judge Reinhold is now Elon's property and he can show it to whoever he wants.

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

I've seen a lot of extremely stupid retorts on this site over the years but that one takes the cake.

How does fake kiddie porn " Victimize" anyone?
If it's AI generated?
Doesn't prosecution of the possession of Fake images really Amount to Thoughtcrime?

Leave it to the Trump voter who believed Putin really was just running military exercises to attempt to justify the normalization of child porn.

"I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything."

Did Mr. Rapist grab AI Jesus by it's AI --------?

Last I checked presumption of innocence was still a fundamental principal of the US justice system. Trump, Hegseth and those just following orders are murderers.

MAGATS don't care. They love corruption and especially when it directly benefits their cult leader.

They're Islamic which makes them congenital liars.

I didn't realize that Trump is muslim

Donald Trump lives in a world where he thinks a US Olympian vandalized the reflecting pool despite his own pet prosecutor tell the world there is no evidence to support such claim. At this point I think it's fair to take the position that anything that Trump claims to have happened is the product of his dementia riddled mind.

In April of 2016 Trump said he'd eliminate what was at the time a 19T national debt. He lied.

Disgraceful. You can't play games with people's lives because you need a scapegoat

Apparently you can. Trump will never face consequences for his lies.

Didn't Pres Trump say on multiple occasions...

Even MAGATS know you can't believe a word he says.

I am actually surprised that it seems reason will out in this case and the improperly charged person will have his charges dropped. Getting awfully used to a DOJ and Executive Branch being all about lies and hate, so is a nice change of pace.

I think Pierro changed direction after Todd Blanche was recently referred for discipline. She knowns this was obviously malicious prosecution and decided to put her career ahead of Trump.

Where are all of the MAGATS who were decrying the so called weaponization of the DoJ not that long ago? They are awfully quiet about this actual weaponization of the DoJ.

Remember when America was respected on the world stage? We are now an embarrassment

"we now know microcoagulation and embolism is a significant injury that's associated with the mRNA vaccines"

That is a lie.

"Large population studies and reviews by health agencies find no causal link between mRNA vaccines (such as Pfizer and Moderna) and venous thromboembolism or pulmonary embolism."

David Hearn, a us olympian and business owner, was only arrested and prosecuted in order to cover up for Trump's lie.
You don't actually do anything wrong in Trump's America for the dictator to target you.

Weinstein and Cosby's lawyers said the same about their clients. Funny how that happens to these old rich guys anytime they are accused of wrongdoing.

His diary entries reveal that he is a narcissist piece of ---- more interested in his media appearances than public health.

You talking about Trump? Oh wait...he doesn't keep a diary because he's functionally illiterate.

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth should both be impeached and tried for murder.

Make America Contagious Again? Make America Infectious Again? Can't wait for Polio to return.

The suit will be dropped. It's what Trump does every time someone stands up to him.

Remember when Republicans used to throw a fit and cry about braindead Joe when Biden would tell a story with an exaggeration or mixed up detail?

We've got Mitch McConnell in the hospital literally brain dead and Trump remembering things that never happened and making up countries that don't exist (the Islamic Republic of Japan) but republicans sit silently while we all have to live with a country being ran by Abe Simpson.

@#1 ... How did the vetting process fail ...
Possibly because the process may have been designed to sign-up as many persons as possible, as quickly as possible?

Democrats on the Committee of Homeland Security requested the GAO look into this last year. There is no public record that indicates the GAO ever issued a response, much less took action on the request. The letter cited reports of new recruits not passing educational requirements, not being fingerprinted for background check or drug tested.

It can be assumed that the administration took no action on the request because it came from democrats and in this white house the rule is party over country.

Platner dropped out on the 10th.....

Sorry...should have included the date of when I originally posted that comment. It was several days before he dropped out.

My original point was that I visited Monticello and the tour guides were fixated on one topic and failed to mention all his other accomplishments.
That's not supporting slavery or defending him owning slaves.

I don't believe you. I've taken the tour and they definitely covered many of Jefferson's other achievements. It's been a few years but I explicitly recall them covering Jefferson as an architect, his role in the founding of the country and the declaration, his many political positions, his role in westward expansion including the Lewis & Clark expedition and the Louisiana purchase, his family and many other topics about Jefferson. Yes, they do frequently mention slavery as well but slavery was highly critical aspect of his life and the country overall. To ignore or to gloss over it would be obscuring Jefferson's legacy. Examining his life is in many ways a microcosm for examining the country.
