I don't think people who uploaded pictures on Facebook consider that making it available for personal use.

Then they shouldn't have uploaded it to Facebook and made it publicly accessible.

Just because something is made illegal doesn't make it actively pursued, it just makes it so if someone gets caught doing it or gets reported doing it they can be stopped.

It's the next logical step for the pearl clutchers and amounts to "thought crime."

These people aren't doing anything to my children, they're making their own images from images they have a right to use. It's super creepy and I'd probably pick a fight with them if I found out, but I don't think it should be illegal if there's no victim.

The geek squad worker could still report these people, and it would be the prosecution's job to prove that they were acquired or created in an illegal way.

Do you think it's okay for someone to have real csam?

No, because that increases demand for child abuse. Those pictures are created by abuse of children, and having getting access to them encourages for child abuse to produce more content.

Possession itself isn't the problem, the problem is how they're produced.

I feel similarly about recreational drugs. Buying from dealers is bad because it encourages snuggling and everything related to it. I have no problem with weed or whatever, I have problems with the cartels. At least with drugs there's a simple solution: legalize it. I likewise want a legal avenue for these people who would otherwise participate in child abuse to not abuse children. Them looking at creepy AI content generated from pictures of my child doesn't hurt my child, just don't share those images or otherwise let me know about it.
