CSAM is criminal, no doubt. No justification exists for its creation or distribution. I would, however, point out that there are opportunities available to flag such material, or users promoting or seeking it, including the generator with comments that allow it. I’ve used some of the uncensored generators, but never comment if the option is available, because I don’t want to be involved with how others use the generator, even if only by being swept up in the inevitable investigation.
This problem is as old as the internet, and will always exist. AI actually makes it infinitely easier to bypass moderation and censorship! It seems to me that people who are trying to shut down sites like Perchance, which are not intended as venues for any kind of criminal activity, but rather are available for freedom of creation and expression, need to find something better to do with their time. If fighting CSAM is their life purpose, good on 'em! But they’re time and resources would definitely be better spent, and more effective, focused on legitimate targets, like those who actually produce CSAM, prey on children directly (the fact that minors can see or access adult content is another issue entirely!), and deliberately facilitate any component of that behavior.
Quite well put! Though, what I’ve been currently advocating, is the removal of a comment section on a specific generator that’s notorious for csam distribution
, sharing "secret message" links:
and possibly even CP sharing quite often. Looks like those chat rooms aren't moderated at all and are becoming a ground for criminal activity. I, and I'm sure many of us as well, would really despise it if law enforcement took the problem in their hands and took down the only free and limitless AI generation site. Comments need to be either moderated or shut down, otherwise this site is at risk. Perchance is all about AI, so you could at least install some AI filter to check messages in the chat if you can't do anything else.
