> This is mostly a good thing, if this wasn't true, somebody would have set up a site that was a safe haven for child porn, and there'd be nothing that anybody could ever do about it.

I doubt it is true, and I'd assume people have set up a site. If the media industry failed to exterminate torrenting with enormous economic incentives to do so why would the crusade against child abuse achieve more success? It isn't technically possible to stop people communicating with each other over the internet.



It's already happened. The Trump shooters brother was arrested for CSAM only because it was discovered during the investigation of his brother.


Well, for all the "safety" of the kingdoms there, it didn't stop it.

So the kingdoms have not prevented it, and many probably have facilitated it, and maybe not always unintentional (as in, someone from inside the company was "in on it").


The FBI also temporarily ran a CSAM site which raises ethical and legal questions.
