Well the simple answer is that it doesn't have to be illegal to remove it.
The legal question is a lot harder, considering AI image generation has reached levels that are almost indistinguishable from reality.
In which case, admins should err on the side of caution and remove something that might be illegal.
I personally would prefer to have nothing remotely close to CSAM, but as long as children aren't being harmed in any conceivable way, I don't think it would be illegal to post art containing children. But communities should absolutely manage things however they think is best for their community.
In other words, I don't think #1 is a problem at all, imo things should only be illegal if there's a clear victim.
