  • I agree the two are different, but not as different as you seem to think. None of these girls were raped, but this is still sexual abuse, especially because these images were shared.

    Sexual abuse is complex, and far surpasses “slander,” especially in ones formative years. This act of sexual abuse is going to change how 60 girls and soon to be woman respond to sex, likely for the rest of their lives. These images may follow them forever, causing heartache, job loss, on and on, and the damage will be done because this is a form of CSAM of them that is in the world.

    That is not a light matter to be sidelined to a “hand slap” level of offense. I think the fact the perpetrators were also children should play heavily in their defense, but otherwise this needs to be treated as the sexually damaging event it is.


  • Are they fake? They are the faces of real children in sexual and pornograpic images.

    I agree there should be more specific laws, but this still seems to fall under the current ones to me. These are not fully artifical CSAM, which is fucked up but has no living victim. These are sexual pictures of real children, that just have most of the sexual part generated. Thats much, much closer to full on CSAM then the above, and falls under the “spirit” of the law, which is to punish people that abuse children for sex. That is what these other children did to these 60 girls.













  • Meanwhile, I’ve had nothing but trouble with consumer APC and find Cyberpower’s bullet proof. Had one that went 10yrs before any issues, and a second with 3+ and counting, no problem.

    An alternative to both is the burgeoning battery banks for camping/emergency power. Most of these offer UPS quality switching times, so they can act as a UPS when not in use for an emergency. Ecoflow/ anker solix/etc. A big advantage of these is the battery chemistry is very long lived and much better than UPS lead acid. Dont expect a pure sinewave, but you weren’t going to get that from most consumer UPS anyway.
