You want to ban uncensored AI image generators? That's censorship dressed up as protection. Here's the reality: banning tools doesn't stop bad actors—it just hands a monopoly to whoever controls the legal versions. The real predators don't care about laws; they'll use them anyway. Meanwhile, you're criminalizing what artists, researchers, and ordinary people use every day for legitimate work. The genie's out. You can't unbake the cake. Focus on prosecuting actual harm, not the tools. Illegal won't work—it never does with technology. All you get is an underground market, zero accountability, and innocent people caught in the net.
What's your response?
