For some context, I an a 19 year old university student from Canada. About 2 months ago, I was banned from discord for sending an ai generated lolicon image to a storage chat only containing my alt. The image was very clearly fictional and did not contain any real children. I am not attracted to real children whatsoever. Since then, I have deleted all explicit images off of my device.
In the ban email, they said they may report to law enforcement if necessary. The way I understand it, discord health and safety team goes over the content, and if required, forwards it to NCMEC, which then do what they do. I’ve seen mixed inputs on how they handle fictional content that doesn’t involve minors, and whether or not they forward it to other countries. On top of this, discord doesn’t like working with out-of-US law enforcement.
I just want to know the odds. I’ve been stressing super hard over the past 2 months to absolutely no end. Is there anything to worry about when it comes to being arrested? I believe the chances are very slim, but thats just what I concluded. I want other’s input on it. I’ve been losing sleep and haven’t been eating as much. I have a good future and I’m very bright, and I have a very good social and family life. I’m unbelievably anxious and stressed.
Discord does not forward reports regarding fictional content to the NCMEC. However, photorealistic AI-generated images that could reasonably be mistaken as containing photographic elements can be and are forwarded, since they could be perceived to involve a real photo of a child.
Why would you use Discord in such a way lmao? Also while Chie is correct his information does not take the canadian legal system / laws into account. According to the new Online Harms Act (C-63) a platform is legally forced to report “child pornography” - which includes hentai in Canada.
It also makes changes to the mandatory notification process by requiring any person providing an Internet service to the public to send all notifications to a law enforcement body designated by regulations and by extending the preservation period for data related to an offence.
So there is a chance. Just keep it to yourself, because Canada loves to give 6 month to one year prison sentences for mere possession lmao:
The offender in that case was 21 years old, so they do not give a fuck about ruining young peoples lives over a cartoon. It was reduced from one year to 6 months, because of a plea deal.
Keeping anything online is always a bad idea. You can’t let any of your devices automatically back things up to the cloud, especially Google. Who owns the cloud, along with Mmmicroshit! It sucks that we can’t share our hobbies with one another due to overreaching authoritarianism and retarded laws. The gov. agencies are all in bed with these tech companies. They’ve also been trying to regulate and control the internet for decades. One day they’ll cite how they started it all back in the 60s through defense contractors and scientists and have “the right” to see everyone’s data and everything anyone does online, because “they” paid for it. With OUR tax dollars! We are living in the times of The Empire.
Don’t think TOR and the dark web is any place to feel safe either. The Dept. of the Navy came up with TOR. Don’t you think they already know everything that goes on there? Don’t you think black programs don’t already have the best AI? And quantum computers? And have broken every encryption ever thought up? Chat GPT, and now these AI “agents” showing up everywhere, are not only snitch minions scanning everything; they’re likely preschool compared to what really exists. Not open to the public. We get the dumbed down, lollipop version. Not the real meat.
