Europe & CSAM --- @Nikolov. The simple reason is why Europe has the highest percentage of CSAM is due to the principles of democratic societies - freedom of expression, freedom of information, freedom of artistic expression etc. as you have indicated, the Eastern countries and their proxies seem to legislate more severely for these "artistic expressions" which they see (rightly or wrongly) as a danger to children. Case in point: phonography is legalized in many of the European countries *subject to correction) by definitely in the Netherlands. This significantly increase CSAM traffic as the study shows.
