    CSAM definitions absolutely include illustrated and simulated forms. Just check the sources on the wikipedia link and climb your way up, you’ll see “cartoons, paintings, sculptures, …” in the wording of the protect act

    They don’t actually need a victim to be defined as such

      That Wikipedia broader is about CP, a broader topic. Practically zero authorities will include illustrated and simualated forms of CP in their definitions of CSAM

          That’s not what I was debating. I was debating whether or not it should be reported to authorities. I made it clear in my previous comment that it is disturbing and should always be defederated.

          • Ah. It depends on the jurisdiction the instance is in

            Mastodon has a lot of lolicon shit in japan-hosted instances for that reason

            Lolicon is illegal under US protect act of 2003 and in plenty of countries
