I see where you’re coming from. It’s not really illogical though — it logically follows that if one did the same thing as the other but worse (use AI to seduce kids vs use AI to generate CSAM), then if the weaker one is found illegal, the stronger one should be found more illegal.
It might be a non sequitur though (“it does not follow”) because, as you say, Twitter wasn’t involved in that case.
Still worth mentioning.
My local news is full of people who were found to be looking at CSAM and the years of prison time they’re getting. Basically they were found to have naked pictures of kids, or pictures/video of people abusing kids on their phone or computer. But they haven’t actually harmed any real kids, IRL. Meanwhile, western politicians are actually doing the thing and not being punished. I don’t know if Trump has any CSAM on his phone (probably not), but he’s gone to a private island to abuse minors, and so have a bunch of other people. One in the UK got stripped of his titles, but still lives a life of luxury. I wanna say “make it make sense” but it seems to me that it’s not doing the thing that is punishable by prison, it’s having the proof someone else did the thing. And that’s sick. But that’s the world we live in.

Exactly. Justice is not fast food. It takes more than a few weeks or even months to go through the steps.

Yup. If that case is over within two years it’s because of shenanigans
