A viral case: a UK man saved an AI-generated image (not of a child) from Google Images and sent it to his wife on Facebook Messenger while discussing clothes shopping. Facebook reported it to police and his devices were seized. Commenters call the outcome 'shockingly dystopian,' highlighting how automated detection of AI-generated content and UK enforcement can misfire on ordinary users.
