ARS technica is not asserting that themselves, that’s the argument that Strike3 is making. Strike3 and other porn companies attack non-professional porn on these grounds as well, to try to kill their competition.

Top notch journalism. Even today, the “legit” sites either have an “I am over 18” button at best, and in general they just block users from states with more stringent requirements. Are we really supposed to hate seeders, just because arstechnica says so?

They’re pointing out the double standard.
If you seed porn, its a federal offense.
If Meta does it, its capitalism.

They are escalating the seeding of porn to the willful distribution of porn to children. The fact its a corporation doing the seeding just makes for an easy target for such escalation.
