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

First of all, how did you even manage to conflate "free and limitless AI generator" with a "no-limit user chat"?... Secondly... Can't you see how you're contradicting yourself? You agree with my concern about Perchance being in danger, yet you argue against preventing the very thing that endangers it. I'm not arguing for any censorship at all except against CP networking and other illegal shit. And given the indifference/absence of the dev, don't you think the best option is removing the comment section entirely?

The flagging does a shit job, aka nothing, to prevent it. Even if you get banned, you can easily circumvent it by changing your IP, and the fact that nothing prevents those messages from being sent in the first place is a problem. So you can do whatever you want until you get banned, and then switch your IP and continue. Is that moderation?

CP distribution and possession is illegal, and if a site facilitates it, even by negligence, it eventually attracts legal attention. Obviously, the priority should be CP producers and active pedophiles, but it doesn't mean we should do nothing to its consumers.

Perchance warns you several times that you should only use a NSFW generator or view NSFW images in the gallery if you're 18+. If a minor actively chooses to access adult content, that's on them. What, do you want an ID age verification? Be fr.
