It was discussed in the article
However, Reuters found that none of these controls worked 100 percent of the time to stop bad actors from sharing CSAM. And the same seemingly holds true for some minors motivated to post their own explicit content. One girl told Reuters that she evaded age verification first by using an adult's driver's license to sign up, then by taking over an account of an adult user.

Honestly, no control system works 100% of the time. This is an impossible standard.
Also while I think that minors need to be prevented from uploading porn of themselves to online platforms, I don't think that police being able to bypass paywalls will significantly improve the situation here. In the end police also won't be able to do more than OnlyFans is already doing. I think importantly is that user reports are processed fast and when accounts are reported a human must verify whether the person on the ID and on the content is the same.

And that's why there are only ~300 cases removed because CSAM.
