This was a predictable outcome of the following factors:

* Criminalizing possession and creation of child pornography equivalently

* Conscripting the tech sector into detecting it via SESTA/FOSTA.

Look forward to reading stories like this ad nauseum.

You could shorten your comment to "This was a predictable outcome of conscripting the tech sector", and it would be more accurate / precise.

Child pornography is only one of many areas where false positives in legally mandated sescanners end up ruining people.

Credit card payments come to mind, though I think those are mostly self-regulation.
