I suspect a lot of CSAM searches come from underage users themselves
I was one of them. I used to search "Naked girl X age", where X was my age, from the time I was around 13.
Same thing for me when I was 13. I freaked the fuck out when I saw a wikipedia article on the right. I thought I was going to jail the next day lmfao
I'd think it's probably not a majority, but I do wonder what percentage it actually is. I do have distinct memories of being like 12 and trying to find porn of people my own age instead of "gross old people" and being confused why I couldn't find anything. Kids are stupid lol, that's why laws protecting them need to exist.
Also good god when I become a parent I am going to do proper network monitoring; in hindsight I should not have been left unattended on the internet at 12.
I was the same back then. And have come across some stuff which is surprisingly easy to find. Later to realize how messed up that was.
I think monitoring is good but it has a fine line not to cross in your child privacy. If they suspect anything they sure know how to work around it and you loose any insight.
It's not about laws, it's about sexual education. Sexual education is a topic that can't be left to the parents and should be explained in school, so as to give the kids a complete knowledge base.
Most parents know about sex as much as they know about medicines. They've had some, but that doesn't give them a degree for teaching that stuff.
Sorry I know this is a serious subject and not a laughing matter but that's a funny situation. I guess I was a MILF hunter at that age because even then I was perfectly happy to knock one out watching adult porn instead!
