    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.

      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.

      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.
