Perhaps I'm misunderstanding something, but are you saying that if the research said conclusively that banning CSAM absolutely leads to an increase in actual sexual assaults against children, it would still be a good idea to ban CSAM?
They’re saying the opposite. Use of CSAM material is linked to increased likelihood of real world abuse in some research. Which makes sense to me. The existence of a community encourages people to contribute and participate for basically any “activity”
No they're not. It's thankfully been deleted now, but they responded with a very explicit "yes"
my bad, i read it twice and apparently still got it wrong
