Pick a lane. Either we have the resources to go after CSAM producers, in which case we should be using them; or we don't, in which case we should be getting those resources. In either scenario, banning IPs is a counterproductive strategy to combat CSAM and it is a terrible justification for permitting IP bans.

We don’t have the resources and we don’t want to divert them.

The simple reason for banning Russian and Chinese IPs is the same as the reason I block texts from Vietnam. I don’t have any legitimate business there and they keep spamming me.

I'm not the one you were arguing with initially, I just wanted to address the idea that child abusers are just free to do whatever they want, and we're not doing anything about it.
