I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THIS WAS A THING, BUT I AM NOT SURPRISED

There was a bit of a stink in Sweden recently that hit the international news.  It concerns the sale and possession of child-like sex dolls.  Amazon was recently forced to stop distributing them in several places.  As one might expect a lot of them are made in China.

I confess I don't know how I feel about this.  In an absolute sense somebody banging a child-like sex doll isn't hurting anybody.  I would much rather that pervs be fucking sex dolls rather than actual children.  However I also realize that this could easily be taken as normalizing the behavior depicted and transferring it to actual children.

Child porn produced with actual children is clearly harmful if nothing else to the children involved in its production.  What about child porn produced by AI?  It harms no one, at least not directly.  Indirectly it could be a huge issue.  Should it be illegal to view and distribute it?  Should it be illegal to product it? 

Sometimes public policy issues are thorny.
