there is a history to that. In some US states it became illegal to have cgi images of CP , Secondlife had that problem and they still ban it. I think it got turned down on free speech grounds but there are still some kind of restrictions

Those restrictions made sense in a world without Stable Diffusion because CGI images were thought to stimulate interest in photorealistic CSAM and photorealistic CSAM couldn't be acquired without outright acquiring actual CSAM.

Now that we can readily generate photorealistic CSAM, there's little to no risk of inadvertently creating an customer base for actual CSAM.

They are never going to accept that argument.

I mean, some SD applications like the interior designer market this as a great tool for potential buyers to try out ideas before they buy.
