I think if any other (smaller) site were continually posting CSAM without moderation, it would be banned.

On what legal grounds would that happen?

Confiscate every server that X uses as evidence. Same thing you do with any CSAM case.

And how does that work legally?

I'm not a lawyer, but I've read (on sites like Ars Technica that cover technology) about dark web sites trading CSAM being shut down. By the FBI in America, by Interpol in the EU... I don't know what legal grounds they use to do it.

You don't think CSAM should be illegal? Or you genuinely don't understand why it is, or what law it breaks?
