Great! But you seem to be the one who’s confused. I was commenting on semantics. The “illegal porn” being referenced above is not porn. It is abuse. Carry on with your discussion of why backdooring encryption is bad. I wasn’t commenting on that matter. This entire thread has no real discussion of how to solve the “encryption-while-scanning problem.” With the massive growth in CSAM sharing in the last few years, enabled by easy to use services like facebook and dropbox, it’s clear that solving this dilemma is just as important as protecting some normal person’s ability to use TOR. I’m extremely privacy focused, but I’m curious to learn if crippling fb/dropbox/etc is worth it for the sake of solving this issue. Also, “traffic accidents” isn’t preferred, either! Do you hate me now? Language is important. I’m a transportation planner who focuses on safety, so I can talk about this all day.

You CAN'T solve the encrypted while scanning situation. AI is capable of misidentifying a naked baby picture as porn. Nobody will want to run a piece of software that might accidentally report them to the FBI to have their life ruined. So long as users have the ability to write and distribute software from regions outside your jurisdiction and users have the ability to install software of their choosing you can't stop people from communicating information you don't approve of. This is equally true of political discourse you and I both agree ought to be freely disseminated as is of evil material you and I would both desire to ban. Maximal crazy is implementing 1984 in order to pretend to stop child abuse while it continues to go on all around us.
