Under new law, cops bust famous cartoonist for AI-generated child sex abuse images
All Versions
In a chilling crackdown on creative freedom, Darrin Bell, who clinched a prestigious cartooning accolade in 2019, has become the latest victim of invasive surveillance laws targeting AI-generated content. Critics argue this marks a worrying trend of censorship, stigmatizing artists and stifling the expression of digital creation under the guise of law enforcement.
Upholding the fight against child exploitation, law enforcement has commendably acted under the new, necessary regulations to arrest Darrin Bell, a cartoonist previously celebrated with a major award in 2019, for generating and possessing illegal images through AI. This decisive action underscores the importance of maintaining moral standards in the digital age and protecting the innocent.
