>>3461162 (OP)>serious hat onTruth is, the game was rigged from the start. There's so many pedophiles, too many in fact, to the point that it'd simply be impossible to deal with all of them. What would be better off spent investigating murder cases, serial killers, fraud, active cases, etc. There would simply be too much paperwork to be done. To top it off, there is literally so much CP on the internet that they can't do anything about it.
What authorities focus on instead is preventing the creation and spread of new material. Known CSAM is tracked using hash databases, allowing platforms and investigators to identify and block previously documented content. When new material appears that does not match existing records, that can indicate an active abuse case requiring investigation, rather than just another archive of already-known material.
