Just the fear of that alone was enough to cause dmv.social to shut down, back during the waves of CSAM attacks, before the automated software was implemented to filter it out.

So what you’re saying is I’m right.

Does that... matter to you? Okay then, yeah in the narrow sense, you very likely are - I don't know of any such cases occurring within the past few years.

When I was on Reddit I started to become obsessed with winning arguments with people on the internet - many of whom were literal teenagers. So I decided to leave it behind, regardless of whether I could find somewhere else to go. It doesn't lead to satisfaction or fulfillment, I found.:-(

Wouldn't you rather enjoy a conversation here? Well, it's your choice, I just thought I'd share a bit of my own story in case it might help you with yours.
