So this is really gross obviously but the question of should it be illegal, and if so, where is the line, is going to be an interesting one moving forward. Getting an AI to draw a naked picture of someone for you is illegal? Comissioning an artist to draw a naked picture? What if it's just an original character who "happens to look like x person"? Learning to draw and making one yourself? Does it involve disseminatation vs personal use? If you make a nude picture of someone else but no one ever knows does it even matter? What if you have legal rights to their image? Would not want to be a lawyer involved in that field in the future, oof.
If it is public it should be illegal,
If you do it privately, it should not be illegal.
edit: and i think any other stance on this issue would litteraly just be oppression and the actual loss of freedom
Realistically if its private no one will know about it anyway. IIRC the UK goes with private is also illegal and the realistic reason for that is so that if its leaked and you have it they don't need to prove that it was you who leaked it and "i was hacked though!" isn't a valid defence.
There are a lot of problems with that stance and I do not have the energy to point them all out, but here is the main one I see.
If you say something in private is illegal, how do you enforce it? Many harmful drugs are illegal, for example, so we justify invasions of privacy with searches of a suspect because the harm of the drugs is so great we are okay with violating people like that.
When you say digital content is illegal in private it justifies searching digital content for enforcement. But the trouble with this is it is digital content and programs can be used to search it...continuously. This sort of search needs to scan EVERYTHING of yours in private. Once you have that, they can add more search criteria and you won't even know it's happening.
You have no idea how bad this can get. I hope that you don't find out.
