You may slow them down temporarily, but you won't stop them.

Things like this are always a game of cat and mouse. Just as your group intend to dynamically react to the way that child sex abusers change their methods to try to escape detection, it looks like wider society is doing the same.
I suspect that the vast amount of child exploitation goes undetected, but that doesn't mean that everybody should stop trying to eradicate it.
It's also not confined to trying to prevent & detect child sex abusers, it's also being done to deal with other unlawful activity like terrorism.
