Here's a fun fact: did you know that child pornography laws have endangered more children than it protects?

Take for example, AI bans. AI-generated child porn is illegal in Florida even when that's protected, so long as it's non-obscene (PROTECT Act of 2003) and doesn't depict any actually identifiable minors (Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition, 2002). And it was these same rulings (like Ashcroft) that were designed to help children. Now states like South Carolina are passing laws designed to force ID verification for porn sites, and California is passing a new law that violates COPPA by spying on minors by the big government, when earlier laws aimed to prevent that (the FTC even announced it). And now you have those bullshit ass "teen sexting laws". When will it ever end?
