Who will be the judge?

The same people that should judge every criminal proceeding. Of course it's not going to be perfect, but this is a case of not letting perfect be the enemy of good. Allowing generated or drawn images of sexualized children to exist has external costs to society in the form of normalizing the concept.

The argument that making generated or drawn CSAM illegal is bad because the feds might plant such images on an activist is incoherent. If you're worried about that, why not worry that they'll plant actual CSAM on your computer?
