Topic: Why are the rules for underage characters different here than on e621?

I don't really understand why we're more strict over here about it and I'd just like some feedback on why that is the case. I had my first two posts here deleted under that rule and I just didn't expect to run into it at all.

I haven't been told the reason, but my guess is that it is to avoid legal complications that could be caused by image models that are trained on actual child pornography. Even if 100% of those posts come from models trained only on furry drawings, the risk remains.

The legal battles involving AI art are just starting. For all we know this site will have to shut down within a few years if the copyright battles play out a certain way.
