I really saw someone on twitter say sites shouldn’t get rid of CP because it makes finding trafficking victims harder, you do know taking away their platforms in the fucking first place decreases their audience right ??? and that there are other ways to find traffickers than encouraging them to post MORE CP with a free platform ?

this is equivalent to the argument that we shouldn’t combat the use of child labor because then poor children won’t have a means of making money. it’s not about making children’s situations worse, it’s about making them safer. it’s about combatting the system that allows them to be exploited in the first place.
