Experts in what exactly?

There are two ways to defend a law that penalizes virtual child pornography:

- On general moral terms, aka "we just don't like that this is happening".

Worth noting that a ban on generated CSAM images was struck down as unconstitutional in Ashcroft_v._Free_Speech_Coalition.
