    Shouldn’t they want it banned because it already broke the law? How many lines have to be crossed before anyone does anything?

    How about we just fine them to oblivion and make the people responsible answer for their crimes?

      How do you enforce the fines? Wouldn’t you have to invade the USA to enforce any meaningful fines?

        Elon Musk does a lot of business in Europe. You seize his assets in Europe to enforce the fines.

    I think if any other (smaller) site were continually posting CSAM without moderation, it would be banned. What’s different about X? The fact that Elon Musk runs it and he’s in with a powerful dictator?

    At some point you have to admit the CSAM is not the problem, it’s the person running it, whether they have the power to stop you/fight back or not.

      not just banned, but there would be criminal charges brought on the owners.

      Musk should be prosecuted for distribution of CSAM.

      On what legal grounds would that happen?

        I’m not a lawyer, but I’ve read (on sites like Ars Technica that cover technology) about dark web sites trading CSAM being shut down. By the FBI in America, by Interpol in the EU… I don’t know what legal grounds they use to do it.

        You don’t think CSAM should be illegal? Or you genuinely don’t understand why it is, or what law it breaks?

        Confiscate every server that X uses as evidence. Same thing you do with any CSAM case.
