Just to play devil's advocate, it's possible that the CSAM concern is as much due to moral concerns / feelings of repugnance, than a strict legal concern.

Very possible, but I'd counter with the statement: moral reasons aren't a stable basis on which to build bitcoin (they are too subjective).

Agreed, and that's why I don't think the legal argument for filters is an authentic argument. Gov't can already make bitcoin illegal whenever it wants... illegal pics or not.

Then don't run a node, CSAM has been with us since 2018, and possibly earlier.
