Photoshop has been used for that for decades. Why not ban Photoshop?

In Queensland, under Revenge Porn laws:

> “The new laws also cover photoshopped images – where an image has been altered to look like a person is portrayed in an intimate way.” --http://statements.qld.gov.au/Statement/2019/2/13/revenge-por...

(1) Photoshop was not designed purely for generating fake nudes.

(2) I'm not calling for government censorship, just saying that GitHub (and by extension Microsoft) shouldn't be giving these people a platform.

check out /r/bubbling. No one has banned that either even though it’s non-consensual porn as well and has been for years. I don’t recall any articles written about it.

It suggests that creating porn of people is not always objectionable.

Please don’t presume to know my position on this. I never said whether I do or I don’t find this objectionable.

I asked you to expand on your comment, that is all.

Sorry for misunderstanding. I just think that it would be a clear invasion of privacy, and show a serious lack of respect and decency, to create fake, realistic nudes of someone without permission.
