Nah the argument that this could grow "pedophile culture" and even encourage real activities is really not that far fetched and could be even true. Without very convincing studies do you take a chance where real kids could soon suffer? And I mean the studies would have to be really convincing.

The thing is, banning is also a consequential action.

And based on what we know about similar behaviors, having an outlet is likely to be good.

Here, the EU takes an approach of "banning just in case" while also ignoring the potential implications of such bans.
