IANAL but I don’t think anything shown is illegal in America (V*ush is in San Fran, right?), where the relevant law requires that the image look realistic to be considered CSAM.
edit: hmm looks like it has been prosecuted before under the PROTECT act of 2003, but it doesn’t seem like settled case law to me since the person who got got was charged with obscenity and not possessing CSAM, which is a different thing. Still if you took this kind of stuff to the Circuit or Supreme courts I have a feeling that they wouldn’t be too eager to protect it.
yea i wasn’t sure if it was actually illegal or not in america when i was reading that sorta thing. which is kinda my point, it doesn’t really matter if it’s illegal because it’s still child porn.
