The law in one country can’t stop this from being done in other countries, and then exported over the internet around the world. It’s a common issue where laws don’t reach outside jurisdictions, but for many things on the internet, jurisdictions aren’t an issue for accessing the service or content. It’s the same issue with IP laws, or tax havens.

We manage to do it comparatively well with CSAM. I’m not suggesting we should go to that level of enforcement here, but it can and is being done pretty effectively (though not perfectly) when the type of illicit content is something we care far more strongly about prohibiting.
Well, i would assume the only relevant country would be the one the actors claim citizenship to. But assuming the country is against this, any power to stop it would be akin to stopping piracy. Its the same problem essentially, and we still derive a measure of success with some anti piracy measures, international pirates not withstanding
The law is not “powerless” that would assume politicians wanted to stop this from happening.
