As of the PROTECT ACT of 2003, any obscene images depicting minors including virtual images, and thus lolicon, are illegal in the United States. Most countries have obscenity laws that also make it illegal or classify it under CSAM. One notable exception is Germany, where it is not illegal as it does not depict real people.
This doesn't seem to be enforced very broadly considering just how widespread and available the material is. If these laws were enforced, 4chan would have been obliterated 20 years ago.
The good timeline, where Bush arrested and liquified every 4chan user and then didn't get re-elected because they were load bearing pedophiles.
Alright apparently that joke was inappropriate, go man a sigh
Oh my god they literally are
I mean 4chan have helped various militaries carry out airstrikes in Syria, including against US backed "moderate rebels". I have no idea how that website is still up and running. Fed run website used to incriminate and potentially blackmail internet weirdos?
I think "laws about anime porn aren't enforced" is a more likely explanation than "if someone is possessing or distributing loli porn without getting arrested it means they're a fed"
I mean, is there anyone who is getting prosecuted for it?
