I think it's pretty stupid. Borders on Thought Crime kind of stuff.
I'd rather see that kind of enforcement and effort go towards actually finding people who are harming children.
This is also my take: any person can set up an image generator and churn any content they want. Focus should be on actual people being trafficed and abused.

There’s a few in the White House.
Ehhhhh...

Paracetamol "borders on" poison, but isn't.
Slippery slope is a logical fallacy, and there are actual consequences here. We need to do better.
