Eh, not really. Technologies cannot fix sociatal problems. Either you have no possibility of regulations/controls on payments, then people will buy CSAM with it. Or you have some form of control and who ever is in power can try shit like this 🤷

True democratic control might be best, but even then a majority could still oppose niche stuff for silly reasons.
