==Legality==
The lede of this article states that "child pornography is illegal in most but not all nations." However this seems overly vague in that it could mean either possession or distribution. I looked at the cited source and did not see any discussion of overall global statistics, though on page 12 there was a paragraph about Western societies. According to a 2008 study it seems possible this statement is actually wrong as only 58 known countries had laws on possession (see the main article's talk page). —[[User:Rehoboam|Rehoboam]] ([[User talk:Rehoboam|talk]]) 08:59, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

==Map==
The article tells a very different tale from the map, which would lead one to believe that child pornography is legal in most of Africa, Russia and most of the former Soviet Union, as well as a good chunk of South America and Southeast Asia. [[Special:Contributions/75.158.37.149|75.158.37.149]] ([[User talk:75.158.37.149|talk]]) 14:18, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

== Inconsistent information ==


== Protected edit request on 11 February 2023 ==
The article says "However, Simulated child pornography remains to be legal everywhere in the US.", yet in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulated_child_pornography , it states that "Any realistic appearing computer generated depiction that is indistinguishable from a depiction of an actual minor in sexual situations or engaging in sexual acts is illegal under 18 U.S.C. § 2252A. Drawings, cartoons, sculptures, and paintings of minors in sexual situations that do not pass the Miller test were made illegal under 18 U.S.C. § 1466A."


In the status of Cyprus, change "Fictional" status to "Illegal" as possession of fictional pornography is illegal.
Can somebody please get a definitive answer and make all articles show consistent information? I know that the bits of the PROTECT act, including, "a visual depiction of any kind, including a drawing, cartoon, sculpture, or painting" were ruled to be unconstitutional in the Handley case.

== Legalization of fictional child pornography in Taiwan ==
:The truth is, there is no definitive answer. This law has been applied in only a handful of cases, usually involving people who also possessed actual child porn. What we do know is that several prominent websites allow users to freely upload and share this cartoon "child pornography" without any legal rammifications. The fact that the FBI has not shut down a site like Gelbooru, for instance, suggests that any law against the content is not actively enforced. However, if you go directly to the cops and confess that you store cartoon porn of the Powerpuff Girls or whatever, maybe they'll give you an obscenity charge. So the simple answer is "yes", but this answer gives no information about the law's enforcement and constitutional validity, so it's very misleading.

1. Change "Fictional" status to "Legal"

2. Change "Possession" status to "Legal; fictional only"
Not all countries have implemented these laws and fictional child pornography remains legal in some EU member countries. It's preposterous to assume all EU laws are implemented in every member state. An implementation of the cited EU-law regarding legality of fictional child pornography to not require the material to be realistic or based on real life was proposed in Finland in 2010, but not realised. <ref name="edilex.fi">{{ cite web|title=17 luku - 18 § Sukupuolisiveellisyyttä loukkaavan kuvan levittäminen (Finnish) |url=https://www.edilex.fi/he/20100282#OT27 |accessdate=2015-09-27}}</ref> I will not make it my task to revert erroneous edits and research which countries actually have implemented these law changes, but I propose it is [[User:Seqqis|Seqqis]] who should fix damage done and conduct proper research before such major overhauls in the future.

Later, unless I missed something, they state that the European Union's stance "includes realistic images of a non-existent child involved or engaged in sexually explicit conduct" which makes it exclude drawings that are clearly mere drawings. Could you clarify where you got the idea that the European Union has banned all forms of virtual child pornography?

The current article mentions that the law is ambiguous, which just changed recently. An executive letter (Official Correspondence No. 1130014287 from the Ministry of Health and Welfare<ref>https://join.gov.tw/idea/detail/233df5b7-cbb8-4ffc-b8fb-5279ef84823a</ref>) published on 14th of May, 2024 following a meeting between the legislative, judicial, and general public clarified that the ambiguous portion of the "Child and Youth Sexual Exploitation Prevention Act" did not intend to limit freedom of expression but rather protect real children, thus the document interprets and limits the law from affecting fictional art (with the exceptions mentioned above). Also, source [150] is a dead link, though it is no longer needed after this change is applied. The same set of changes has been applied to the Chinese version of this page.

What is "fictional" child porn? There is no Wikipedia page on it. I suggest someone who knows what it is define it with written examples in contrast to what real child porn is.

:The term "fictional" has been clarified by Finnish internet police officer Marko Forss, albeit in Finnish<ref>https://www.facebook.com/epasosiaalinenmedia/posts/1425405027691185</ref>. He defines the 2011-addition to the law, adding the term fictional, as it not having been produced through photography or through image-manipulation to appear indistinguishably realistic. "Factual" child pornogeraphy is exactly as stated in the article, pornography produced through any means depicting an act of sexual child abuse that actually took place. Forss also reminds that drawings and animations of child pornography that fit neither of these criteria, for example in entirely fictional manga, are indeed legal. --[[Special:Contributions/91.150.33.41|91.150.33.41]] ([[User talk:91.150.33.41|talk]]) 01:27, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

Images of child pornography are not protected under First Amendment rights, and are illegal contraband under federal law. Section 2256 of Title 18, United States Code, defines child pornography as any visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct involving a minor (someone under 18 years of age). Visual depictions include photographs, videos, digital or computer generated images indistinguishable from an actual minor, and images created, adapted, or modified, but appear to depict an identifiable, actual minor.
