You want to ban uncensored AI image generators? That's authoritarian overreach disguised as protection. Who decides what's "censored" enough—governments that silence dissidents, corporations that control the narrative, or bureaucrats with their own agendas?
Once you ban tools, you've created a black market. The tech doesn't disappear, it just goes underground where there's zero oversight and actual criminals thrive. Meanwhile, legitimate researchers, artists, and journalists lose access to powerful tools. You're not stopping bad actors—you're just empowering the worst ones while neutering the rest of us.
The real solution isn't banning technology. It's accountability, transparency, and letting people make informed choices.
What's your actual argument for this?
