To me, it's more like the Netherlands giving out free syringes and needles so that drug consumers at least wouldn't contract something from the used ones.

To be clear: granting any and all pedophiles access to therapy would be of tremendous help. I think it must be done. But there are two issues remaining:

  1. Barely any government will scrape enough money to fund such programs now that therapy is astronomically expensive
  2. Even then, plenty of pedophiles will keep consuming CSAM, legally or not. There must be some incentives for them to choose the AI-generated option that is at least less harmful than the alternative.
