AI-generated child sex abuse images targeted with new laws in UK

This is so awfully worded. Especially as the UK is a country that raids people over "illegal" anime artwork uploaded to/downloaded from anime artwork websites.

> The Home Office says the UK will be the first country in the world to make it illegal to possess, create or distribute AI tools designed to create child sexual abuse material (CSAM), with a punishment of up to five years in prison.

Whilst StableDiffusion isn't designed to create the incredibly nebulous wording of CSAM in the same way Cameras aren't, it can be used to do that. So does this law make StableDiffusion and virtually every other AI model illegal by default?

Or how about anime related models or LoRAs?

> Other laws set to be introduced include making it an offence to run websites where paedophiles can share child sexual abuse content [...] That would be punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

Define pedophiles? Whoever the government of the day say they are? Would they arrest anyone who owns an anime artwork website like Pixiv, for example, if and when they visit the UK for running a website where "child sexual abuse content" like drawings and manga images could be shared?

> And the Border Force will be given powers to instruct individuals who they suspect of posing a sexual risk to children to unlock their digital devices for inspection when they attempt to enter the UK, as CSAM is often filmed abroad.

Like artists they've identified? Anime fans? Owners of anime artwork websites?

> The government should [...] tackle the "normalisation of sexual activity with young-looking girls on the mainstream porn sites", she said, describing these videos as "simulated child sexual abuse videos". These videos "involve adult actors but they look very young and are shown in children's bedrooms, with toys, pigtails, braces and other markers of childhood," she said.

So now we want to criminalize porn involving adults? Kind of ironic really, considering the number one sexual fetish in the UK is adults dressed as schoolgirls.

Asian girls are quite youthful. Would this ban Japanese porn? Or would merely owning Japanese porn be considered a "flag" that someone must be attracted to children?

And under UK law, how old someone is doesn't matter, it's how old they look. Also, CSAM/CSEM laws operate retroactively...
