The first paragraph doesnt seem very compelling. Im relatively technically compitent and that doesnt seem straight forward yo me but maybe we can agree to disagree there. The second paragraph however is the most compelling thing I have seen yet. Thank you for sharing that. But this is still a website on the clear net that obviously cant host csam on it. So a normal person running a node couldn't use that website to see csam if it was there. It would then only be easily seen with OP_Return on their node Am I missing something or do you disagree?

For the first paragraph - The main argument here is for bitcoin node runners - and that assumes that you are running a node. And I think most node runners are comfortable with running bash one-liner. For the second - When you are running a node you usually also run local explorers connected to your node (e.g. mempool space is built in in most node packages, like Umbrel), in the same way there are ways to run ordinals explorer locally. The website that I shown is using it's own local bitcoin node to read from and if there is CSAM in inscriptions (nothing is preventing that), then that node also has CSAM and there is a chance that that clearnet website would show it, unless they implemented some strong system to do analysis and filtering of CSAM before it gets displayed. It's important to note that CSAM is utterly disgusting, but nothing in this discussion seems to be making any difference (or even being related to) to actually preventing child abuse.
