> That’s settled US Law with regards to artistic depictions of underage sex.

I'm not clear what you mean by this. The laws regarding CSAM vary a lot across the USA because of the different states and then federal law on top. After a federal Supreme Court ruling that virtual images didn't meet the definition of CSAM a lot of jurisdictions modified their statutes to make constructed images also illegal (e.g. cartoons like "lolicon" come under this). It really comes down to where in the USA you live, and remembering that for most Internet crimes the state can charge you and also the federal government can also charge you. I wouldn't screw with these laws either. If I remember correctly there is one US state that has a mandatory minimum of 100 years in prison for a single image.

You’re right about the Supreme Court verdict and the subsequent state law changes, which is why I called it “settled”. It’s settled in the “normal conditions” sense. There’s basically no where you could operate the servers or send it to a user where it wouldn’t probably be a violation. If you operate in the USA then your subject to that hodgepodge of state laws, which mean you just have to avoid it because it’s too big if a risk.
