News AI-Altered Porn Made to Look Underage Is Illegal in Sweden

[Kelli58]

A Swiss court has ruled that pornographic content featuring adults digitally altered to look underage is illegal, even if no real minors were involved.

The Swiss Federal Supreme Court upheld the conviction of a man who shared a video online that appeared to show a prepubescent girl. Investigators later confirmed the performer was an adult actress whose appearance had been digitally altered to appear underage using software.

The court rejected the argument that the content was legal because no real child was used. Under Swiss law, both real and digitally created child sexual abuse material are criminal offenses — including content altered with AI or other digital tools.

Judges emphasized that allowing such material would make it harder to prosecute real child abuse cases and warned that partial digital manipulation can make age verification even more difficult than animated or cartoon depictions, which are already banned.

Legal experts say the ruling sends a clear message: AI manipulation does not provide legal cover and technological advances won’t shield offenders from accountability.

This is excellent but it raises the question: could underage people use AI to fool Age Verification systems? Seems that would defeat the entire purpose of AVS no?

Isnt this also the case in the U.S? I seem to recall something relating to this several years ago being passed (maybe?).

I would, but the purpose of AVS is in fact to kill adult biz' profit margins.

They're all pretty much the same over there . . . the only way to tell them apart is by which style of metal music they play.

Not quite, bands like Celtic Frost or Hellhammer definitely get a pass, but Switzerland just doesn't compare to places where everyone is 6'4", depressed, pale and for some reason come from a family that "pillaged" in the past.

The UK government is also saying they will ban X because of this.

However many also state that they believe it is an excuse to ban X because the government does not like free speech. They also point out that they could ban Grok and not X. They also point out other AI firms do this but are not looking to ban them.
