Not Facebook
Officials suggested that the greatest threat to child safety from Facebook is that abusers can discover a safe space that normalises the sharing of CSAM and helps encourage depraved newcomers onto the platform.
I'm not a fan of Facebook and it can curl up and die, for all I care, but this is just stupid.
From all the recent big busts of paedophile rings that I've heard about, the images were swapped over their own forums on the dark net. The big scandal last year in Germany was a world-wide net run out of an allotment shed, with racks of servers. Those servers didn't belong to Facebook!
I'm sure some criminals and registered sex offenders are on Facebook. But, a lot of the actual CSAM material seems to be on private forums, from what I've seen in the news.
