Snippet-- "I mean, back in March of 2009, the tools to track, find and report CSAM were in their infancy. Facebook didn’t start using PhotoDNA (which was only developed in 2009) until the middle of 2011. It’s unclear when Google started using it as well, but this announcement suggests it was around 2013 — noting that “recently” the company started using “encrypted “fingerprints” of child sexual abuse images into a cross-industry database” (which describes PhotoDNA)."

nonchildren are also future society, unless every adult immediately dies, so deprioritizing them in favor of someone related to yourself seems selfish to me

if it's just some random kid and you have none of your own, such professions of selflessness might be more convincing
