Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but I’d be fine with that. I have yet to see a benefit or possible benefit that outweighs the costs.
Comment on Spurred by Teen Girls, States Move to Ban Deepfake Nudes

The problem is the cat's out of the bag.
Open source image generators already exists and have been widely disseminated worldwide
So all you'd end up doing is putting up a roadblock for legitimate uses. Anybody using it to cause harm will not be seriously impeded
It would be as effective as the US trying to outlaw the exporting of strong encryption standard. That is to say, completely ineffective.

Right, this is my point. The toothpaste is out of the tube. So would simply having the software capable of making deepfake porn be a crime?
