I mean, we sent Ursula von der Leyen as head of the commission to the EU who became infamous in Germany for rather having CSAM stay online as long as she could

  Leyen is in favor of CSAM staying online? Do you have a source on that? Are you sure you're not misrepresenting her views?

    The debate was going on a bit like this: "We should force DNS providers to block CSAM!" Internet activists: "Maybe it would be a better idea to ask the providers hosting this stuff to delete it?" - "WE SHOULD FORCE DNS PROVIDERS TO BLOCK CSAM! THESE INTERNET ACTIVISTS ARE SUPPORTING PEDOCRIMINALS!" (completely ignore what internet activists said)

    People were begging her/them back then to, as a first step, include a requirement to send some kind of deletion request. Nada. Their list of CSAM that were apparently undeleteable (hence requiring internet blocks) were to a huge percentage deleted within days by Mogis (a German group of abused children against internet blocks) by simply mailing the provider where it was hosted. So I’m not sure what other way there is to read this.

    I'm baffled that you give that woman the benefit of the doubt who literally earned the nickname Zensursula with her hide-instead-of-delete antics in 2009.
