  On sites that serve user-generated content, how would one technically detect if one's ads are being served alongside CSAM? Wouldn't the ad source need to be able to fully read the contents of the page itself? Are there good technical solutions to that problem? And whose responsibility is it to solve - the ad source, or the platform through which CSAM is being served? Definitely something that needs solving, but sounds really hard to solve - unless you just don't serve ads on that site at all.

  Every website permitting user-generated content will be morally extorted this way, until they agree to install some kind of government-sanctioned censor. If it was actually about the CSAM, the website would either be blocked, prosecuted, or the CSAM itself would be taken down (I'm assuming it was) and investigated to find the underlying crime. Instead we have senators pretending they don't understand how a business does not perfectly surveil and police its customers.
