Defederate lemmynsfw.com? (lemmy.world)

The admins on lemmynsfw.com have decided to allow "non-IRL loli", i.e. drawn porn involving children/teenagers. (Post: https://lemmynsfw.com/post/29633).

Irrelevant of the moral issues that this poses, such content is illegal in many countries (e.g the UK). Continuing to federate with lemmynsfw.com will put users at risk of significant legal repercussions.

Please would the admins consider defederating unless lemmynsfw change their policy.

UPDATE: The lemmynsfw admins posted an clarification here: https://lemmynsfw.com/post/29826. My original argument for defederating doesn't stand any more.

I would also link this if you will: https://www.europol.europa.eu/crime-areas-and-statistics/crime-areas/child-sexual-exploitation

quote:

Child sexual exploitation refers to the sexual abuse of a person below the age of 18, as well as to the production of images of such abuse and the sharing of those images online.

This one: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/STUD/2020/652718/IPOL_STU(2020)652718_EN.pdf

says the same applies to drawings and AI generated images.

That's up to the interpretation if individual country courts, but I would be wary nonetheless about pictures showing people that could look like teens.

Edit: downvote all you want, laws are laws, if you like to risk it, good for you, I don't.

good to know that any and all legal issues can be negated with "all characters displayed are 18+"

Europol doesn't make laws and isn't actually allowed to interpret them either... They are law enforcement, not judge and not lawmakers.

Furthermore "person" literally excludes anything not human/company by most EU countrys laws...

The other doc I linked is from the European Parliament and that one clearly says child porn (as defined by Europol doc) also applies to drawings and AI generated images.

Hyper realistic ones.

But LemmyNSFW made a update to clarify this policy, id argue to wait until its clear how good they enforce it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I guess we'll have to wait and see.
