- Do not use any means, including a computer, to cause, depict, record, transport, sell, or knowingly possess a visual depiction of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct; this reaches a computer-generated or morphed image, and since 2025 no longer requires the depicted minor to be an identifiable real child.
- Whether this statute reaches a depiction generated entirely by artificial intelligence with no real child's likeness at all is not resolved by its text; the offenses for transporting, selling, and possessing such a depiction are worded in terms of an actual child.
