Yeah that’s generally the argument against abolition of pretty much anything in a capitalist society. Abolition just means people turn to less safe / reliable / reputable sources for the thing being abolished. Without addressing the systemic issues behind why the thing being abolished is a problem, it just makes it work. This is true for sex work or drugs or basically anything, I think.
I feel like all this actually does is turn people to porn sites that don’t care as much about following the law.
Which seems bad.
