I have personally had to remove NCII for teens and young adults. Grooming is a thing, self harm communities are a thing, as is sextortion.All of it at internet scale.

It is convenient to dismiss them, because it makes it easier to hold positions that depend on them being minor harms.

It's convenient to blow things out of proportion if it helps you implement other changes you want like mass-scale tracking.
