Creating fake child porn of real people using things like Photoshop is already illegal in the US, I don't see why new laws are required?

Well those laws clearly don't work. So we should make new laws! Ones that DEFINITELY WILL work! And if they don't, well I guess we just need more laws until we find ones that do.

No, I'm not criticizing the bill's content. If you don't enforce laws, new ones won't work either. The new ones are, at best, an opportunity for people to huff and puff and pat themselves on the back at the cost of actual victims. At worst, it's smoke and mirrors for what the new law actually does.
