Jeff Trexler writes: “The stated aim of Texas Senate Bill 20 is to criminalize artificial intelligence (AI)-generated child pornography; the language used to do this, however, also encompasses ‘a cartoon or animation’ regardless of the use of AI and applies to images ‘regardless of whether the depiction is an image of an actual child.’ This language has raised concerns over SB20’s potential impact. The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund has encountered situations in which government officials have claimed all manga is by definition child porn, and practically every day brings another heated yet legally unfounded accusation that a graphic novel is pornographic or obscene.”
