You get only cases when the authorities get to know. Teachers are for example required to report cases in class. But the same laws apply of course to any such content minors create and send to each other. Only that it doesn't get reported in any case (until now e2e encrypted chat is completely private for example; Apple is working on changing that though). But there are cases where things got reported to authorities by social media companies, when kids used unencrypted messaging for example. Where else all that giant numbers of child porn on social media come form? Form a few cases before all the new laws to thousands of cases now? No real pedo would exchange such material in the open as it's commonly known that those companies are scanning for it. That's mostly children not aware that they don't communicate really privately! With the new law in place the numbers of such cases will skyrocket likely. As now it's going to be mandatory to scan for such content and directly report it to the authorities. They can than say, "look, the amount of child pornography cases on the internet is skyrocketing. We need more online surveillance to fight this epidemic! To do that effectively we finally also need to solve the encryption problem"… This game has been going on for quite some time now. The goal is also clear: More surveillance. This new law now is just the next step on a long journey. CP (besides "terrorism") is the vehicle to sell things to the people. It's always "terrorism" or child porn when they want to cut down the next civil rights…
