New U.N. Treaty Decriminalizes AI Child Sexual Abuse Images...

GUARD YOUR HOMES, PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN
"O My children, I have counseled you through many appearances upon your earth, in countless earth-years, to guard your homes, protect your children, and bring a firm foundation of their Faith to them, because when they leave your homes they enter now a world that is in now full control by Lucifer and his agents from hell.” – Our Lady of the Roses, July 14, 1979

UNITED NATIONS
"It is in the direction of the Eternal Father that you remove from your country the forces of satan now running rampant in the grouping you call the United Nations." - Our Lady of the Roses, September 13, 1974

Anew United Nations treaty against cybercrime expressly allows for child sexting and the production and dissemination of virtual child pornography. The new treaty will normalize pedophilia and turbocharge pedophilic sexual content online via artificial intelligence and sexbots.

Reports vary on the exact number of initial signatories on Oct. 25 — the U.N. reports 65 signatories, including the European Union, China, and Russia. It will enter into force after 40 countries ratify it.

The treaty has been criticized widely because it is seen as undermining privacy and human rights by requiring countries to cooperate with dictatorial regimes. But the bigger problem is that the new treaty expressly allows virtual child pornography and child sexting, which until now were deemed criminal child pornography under the Optional Protocol of the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the sale of children, child prostitution, and child pornography (“Optional Protocol”), a treaty developed, funded, and backed by the U.S. government for three decades. The way the new treaty undermines the Optional Protocol is quite disingenuous.

The new treaty expressly establishes that countries who ratify the treaty “may” decriminalize some materials until now considered illegal child pornography. According to article 14.2 of the new treaty, countries may opt to decriminalize the production, distribution, and possession of sexualized visual, written, or audio content depicting children, so long as they do not represent an “existing person” or do not “visually depict child sexual abuse or child sexual exploitation.” Articles 14.4 and 15.4 also give states the option to decriminalize sexting between children under all circumstances as well as sexting by a child to an adult when the child is above the age of consent and the sexting is done privately. In such cases, the treaty only requires prosecution where images are shared “non-consensually.”

Satisfying Pedophiles Online

Defenders of these provisions in the treaty argued, without any evidence, that letting pedophiles satisfy their sexual preferences with virtual material will make it less likely that they would prey on real children. They also argued that adolescents have a right to sexual expression. Memorably, one Austrian delegate, expressing the predominant feeling among European countries’ representatives in the final stages of negotiations last year, said, “Children above the age of 14 have a right to develop sexual relationships. Children at this age may choose to have a sexual relationship with someone who is 19 years old, therefore an adult. Children may produce pictures in the course of sexual engagement and share it with each other. It is our conviction that pictures produced as part of the legal and voluntary relationship should not be criminalized.”

Anti-trafficking groups are going along with the new treaty because it is the only international treaty to criminalize “grooming” and “non-consensual sharing of intimate images” specifically. As a result, they overlook the serious flaws in the treaty. If children are allowed to consensually produce and share self-generated sexual images or AI is allowed to create virtual child pornography, it will create an endless supply of new child pornography. This will lead to more child sexual abuse and trafficking, not less. It is an established fact that child-pornography fuels child sexual abuse. It is irresponsible to presume that predators will stop at virtual child pornography and self-generated child pornography. Many will graduate to worse and more explicit forms of child pornography, and this will in turn fuel more child exploitation and sex-trafficking.

It is also a fact that groomers and traffickers use children to generate an endless supply of child pornography and then adult pornography. They trick vulnerable teenagers into virtual sexual exchanges as a prelude to a life of slavery in the sex trade. Decriminalizing child sexting altogether or allowing it in cases of consensual sexting places the burden of protection on vulnerable children themselves. It validates the criminal organization model of the notorious Romanian social media personality Andrew Tate. This model thrives on the gray zone of sexual autonomy afforded to children. The new treaty expands this zone significantly.

All this is being unleashed in a moment where AI is multiplying the threats to children online.  Tech platforms deliberately lower protections for children in sexualized content because they have an economic incentive to fuel sexual addiction with more and more extreme sexualized content that includes violence and pedophilia. A recent investigation by The Wall Street Journal found that Meta and other tech companies that handle AI deliberately lower protections for children, allowing content that both caters to pedophiles and seduces children. One can only speculate about the consequences of such a lax approach in the realm of AI or sexualized robot mannequins. Welcome to the brave new world of the U.N. cybercrime treaty.

The Wider Ecosystem of Social Degeneracy

Above all, the U.N. cybercrime treaty fails to recognize that child sexting and virtual child pornography are part of a wider ecosystem of social degeneracy. When individuals are allowed to entertain perversions as something normal it harms them as individuals and society as a whole. This is something that was powerfully brought home by the murder of Charlie Kirk. His alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson, was a young man who indulged virtual animalistic sexual perversions. We may never really know what went on in Robinson’s mind, but based on his web history and the engraved bullet casings he left behind, it appears he was no longer able to tell the difference between reality and virtual reality. An article in the New York Post this week revealed that Thomas Crooks — the assassin who killed fireman Corey Comperatore in Butler, Pennsylvania, during an attempt on the life of Donald Trump — was caught in the same animalistic perversions.

Congress recognized the importance of prosecuting virtual child pornography more than 30 years ago, and insisted on the importance of doing so after the Supreme Court tried to permit such pornography on free speech grounds. Congress outlawed any form of child pornography, including virtual child pornography, in the 1990s, expressly recognizing how it fuels demand for real child pornography and real sexual abuse. Following a 2002 Supreme Court case that struck down the application of federal child pornography laws to virtual child pornography, Congress soon adopted a new law, the PROTECT Act, using a different constitutional basis for prosecuting virtual child pornography. That law continues to be valid despite having been challenged.

Children should not have to bear the burden of protecting themselves from exploitation on online technology platforms. The burden of protection should be on parents, technology platforms, and public authorities. Sadly, the loopholes in the new U.N. cybercrime treaty do the contrary. They are a boon for the worst sex abusers and predators.

The Trump administration should not sign the new treaty or ratify it. The U.S. State Department should discourage ratification by countries who are already signatories. It should insist that all countries, both those who ratify and those that don’t, recommit to the Optional Protocol and not legalize virtual child pornography or child sexting as a condition or receiving U.S. anti-trafficking aid and cross-border cooperation against cybercrime. The U.S. government should also insist that tech platforms protect children and shut down all forms of child pornography. The point is to wage an all-out global war against child pornography, with severe criminal penalties for mere possession, to deter its production and dissemination in the first place.

"The judgment of your God is not akin to the judgment of man. The Eternal Father will only judge by the heart. Your rank, your accumulation of worldly goods does not set you up before another. Many have sold their souls within the holy House of God. Better that you strip yourself and remove all worldly interests now while you have the time to make amends to your God, for many mitres will fall into hell." - St. Thomas Aquinas, August 21, 1972
