At some point, the Maria account also posted the exact same videos as the Maria Dopari account but with a different face. It appears that for three videos posted between March 6 and 8, the Maria account accidentally used a face from one of its other fake personas, called Lana, which posts under several usernames under some variation of lana.down, the biggest of which has of 43,800 followers. The Maria account then continued posting with the face it used regularly. In some cases 404 Media was able to identify the original videos that were being stolen by these accounts.

Wtf.

Because a lot of the reason that child sexual abuse is so horrific and wrong has to do with their developmental age and understanding of what’s happening and ability to give consent.

And not once in any of my replies do I denounce this, refute it, or even disagree with it. You an I both agree that violence, including sexual violence, against children or the developmentally disabled is repugnant to a degree that I don't even possess the powers of speech to adequately express. But that's not what's being discussed here. What is being discussed here is whether or not thought crimes should be illegal--which is what this is. It's a thought crime.

I don't agree with people using AI to create porn of those with developmental disabilities. I'm not advocating for it or defending it. But in our system of law there has to be a victim of a crime for an action to be called a crime. Since there is no victim--as AI "influencers" aren't protected by law as they're not real--you can't charge these people with crimes. That's an objective truth, and its important that things stay that way because it won't be long that we're prosecuting XXX for XXX because of XXX, because XXX is President and XXX doesn't like XXX behavior.
