In any given situation, sites beholden to these laws are much less likely to be hosting CSAM

Edit: Literally why the fuck are all of you reading this wrong????

[X] DOUBT

Why? Do you not remember how PornHub requires verification to upload content now? They're also beholden to their payment processors.

Other way around:

Sites that COMPLY with laws and exit the state leave behind sites that do not comply.

The sites you CAN reach in Texas are more likely to have trafficking victims and underage participants -- because those sites clearly don't give a hoot about laws.

Texas drove away the wrong sites!

Yes that's literally what I said...

Sites beholden to these laws..

PornHub, sister sites, etc...

...are much less likely to be hosting CSAM.

Because of their moderation.

Obviously it's a big site and you can't get rid of it all, but the percentage is absolutely lower.

That's like saying a supermarket that's burning to the ground is experiencing a record low theft.

If you get downvoted once, everyone else has to downvote you too before they read your comment, it's the rule of lemmy.
