    researchers concluded that “outlawing all deepfakes is unrealistic and unfeasible”—especially since all the harmful AI-generated images that are already out there are likely to “remain online indefinitely.”

    Just think a little bigger:

    It must be a crime to have the harmful material.

    Have it on your PC or phone —> goto jail.
    Have it in your online account —> goto jail.
    Be a service provider and have it on your server —> goto jail.

    This will reduce the stuff.

      You really haven’t thought this through. What happens if I email you a bunch of illegal pictures? Guess we’re both going to jail.

        Oh but I don’t need to think too much through it. It is pretty much the legal situation in Germany (and probably several other European countries). There may be some edge cases that I don’t know.

        Of course, if you send stuff to me, then you are the first of the evil ones :) and if I can convince the judge that I did not know and did not want (!) the stuff (and by the way, how did they even know about it? Even before I had the chance to delete it?), there will be room for a reasonable decision.

      This will also make it trivial to target someone and have them sent to jail. I could literally post an image, right now, and it would be on your current device. Using your logic, you’d be liable and on your way to jail.
