> informing CSAM creators how to better hide their activities

This adds to their risks and costs. That tips the economic balance at the margin. Actually going after all creators would require an international law-enforcement effort for which, frankly, there isn't political capital.

Charging would be bank robbers a fee to do practice runs of breaking into a vault adds to their costs; somehow that doesn't seem like an effective security measure.

I'm not talking about going after all creators, just the ones you have the identifying information for which are so continuously pumping out such quantities of CSAM that it is impossible to stop the firehose by removing the content.

If you don't have the political capital to go after them, again you have bigger issues to deal with.

Most bank thieves are never caught because they can do it online from an unresponsive jurisdiction. > just the ones you have the identifying information for Sure. You’re still going to have a firehose of CSAM, and worse, newly-incentivised producers, if you turn off moderation.
