This does NOT make sense!
In the past our children were being abused to satisfy perverted desires. Society saw this as very bad and banned child pornography to protect our children.
Soon, perhaps already, perverted people will be able to make virtual child porn that looks so real that you can't tell the difference.
Once we reach this stage, if we are not already there, police will have difficulty catching the perverts that are actually abusing our children. The guilty could claim only virtual child porn and get off unjustly.
