TIL Tim Sweeny is into child porn. Not surprising tbh.

If you can be effectively censored by the banning of a site flooded with CSAM, that's very much your problem and nobody else's.

Yet another CEO who's super into child porn huh?

I'll keep in mind Tim think child porn is just politics.

Literally this meme again

Somebody is in a certain set of files

His opinion is as trash as his gaming storefront that insists its a platform.

Someone beat this man for attempting to defent AI csam

I wonder which AI companies he’s invested in

inb4 "In a stunning 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court has ruled that AI-generated CSAM is constitutionally protected speech"

Did Covid-19 make everyone lose their minds? This isn't about corporate folks being cruel or egotistical. This is just a stupid thing to say. Has the world lost the concept of PR??? Genuinely defending 𝕏 in the year 2026... for Deepfake porn including of minors!!???? From the Fortnite company guy???

Imagine where Epic would be if they had just censored Tim Sweeney’s Twitter account.

It’s like he’s hell bent on driving people away from Epic. I’m not sure I could be more abrasive if I tried, without losing the plausible deniability of not trying to troll.

Absolutely insane take. The reason Grok can generate CP is because it was trained on it. Musk should be arrested just for owning that shit.

Tim Sweeney vocally supports child porn and deep fake porn? He certainly looks like the type of creeper, so I guess I'm not that surprised.

I wonder how many times he's been to Trump and Epstein's Pedophile Island 🤔

IMO commenters here discussing the definition of CSAM are missing the point. Definitions are working tools; it's fine to change them as you need. The real thing to talk about is the presence or absence of a victim.

Non-consensual porn victimises the person being depicted, because it violates the person's rights over their own body — including its image. Plus it's ripe material for harassment.

This is still true if the porn in question is machine-generated, and the sexual acts being depicted did not happen. Like the sort of thing Grok is able to generate. This is what Timothy Sweeney (as usual, completely detached from reality) is missing.

And it applies to children and adults. The only difference is that adults can still consent to have their image shared as porn; children cannot. As such, porn depicting children will be always non-consensual, thus always victimising the children in question.

Now, someone else mentioned Bart's dick appears in the Simpsons movie. The key difference is that Bart is not a child, it is not even a person to begin with, it is a fictional character. There's no victim.

EDIT: I'm going to abridge what I said above, in a way that even my dog would understand:

What Grok is doing is harmful, there are victims of that, regardless of some "ackshyually this is not CSAM lol lmao". And yet you guys keep babbling about definitions?

Everything else I said here was contextualising and detailing the above.

Is this clear now? Or will I get yet another lying piece of shit (like @Atomic@sh.itjust.works) going out of their way to misinterpret what I said?

(I don't even have a dog.)

Isn't this the "won't somebody please think of the children" party?

Guy atomically made of shit takes has another shit take, colour me surprised.

Not in the least surprised by this bag of slimy cocks

So he's saying CSAM is free/protected speech? Got it.

Dude had absolutely no reason to out himself as a paedophile, but that seems to be exactly what he's done. And for what? Epic is in legal battles to get onto other companies' platforms (Google's Android and Apple's iOS) without paying the fees outlined in the terms and conditions every other developer had to agree to. I'm not saying he's 100% wrong in that opinion, but outing himself as a paedophile by stating CSAM is protected speech only hurts his argument in the other case, because he's saying he could put CSAM on his own platform (i.e. Fortnite, a game aimed at children and teenagers) and he'd be against you censoring his "free" and "protected" speech.

I just see no good outcomes for what Sweeney is fighting for here.

To address the political opponents angle, no one was calling for a Twitter/X ban before the CSAM problem, even when our political opponents were up there (i.e. before and after Trump was banned and un-banned).

This is SO SURPRISING that in a Country run by JEFFREY EPSTEINS BEST FRIEND who's using YOUR TAX DOLLARS to Protect Pedophiles and Child Sex Traffickers that people would call the CREATION OF CHILD PORN A PROTECTED ACT!

What a surprise, Tim Sweeney is still a shit person

Yeah. I’m as tired of the argument that pretty much anything goes as far as free speech goes as I am of the “everything is a slippery slope when we make laws to keep people from doing harmful shit.”

I mean what’s the required damage before people put a stop to inciteful speech and objectively harmful lies? Or making CSAM of kids using a platform like X? Germany had to kill a few million people before they decided that maybe displaying Nazi symbols and speech wasn’t a good idea. So we have a platform being used to make CSAM. What’s it going to take before someone says that this is a bad idea and shouldn’t be done? How many kids will commit suicide after being taunted and shamed for their images being used? How many is “enough”? There should be immediate action to end the means to use these tools to make porn, there’s plenty of porn available on the internet and making it from user-submitted images on a major public platform is a horrible idea, but too many make up all kinds of reasons why we can’t do that…economic, censorship, whatever.

Did he take an oath against common sense? Is he bound by a curse to have bad takes for his entire life? Does he ragebait as a living? What the actual fuck is up with this man?

Tim Sweeney is into child porn

Who else just did a search on the Epstein files for "Tim Sweeney"?

I didn't find anything on jmail, but there's still a lot that haven't been released, and a lot of stuff is still redacted.

Pedo and facist defendant Tim Sweeney. Burn his business down by disconnecting your, patronage, money, time, etc. Boards can find CEOs who are not supporters of Pedo and Facists

TIL Tim Sweeney doesn't know what gatekeeping is

sweeney sounds like a pedo

Im not going to comment on whatever he's commenting on.

Im just going to re-affirm that Tim Sweeney is a fucking moron. in any and all cases
