You can't.

It creates an interesting moral problem. If people who view such material are in the wrong because they support the harm it causes, then are not people who support Tor in general also guilty of the same? Yes, they have more noble reasons for doing so, but do the ends justify the means, especially when dealing with such a topic?

How is this any different than FedEx or USPS? They don't read your mail to see what it is. To a near certainty at least some of what they deliver contains child pornography.

And what about roads? I bet child pornographers sometimes use roads for child pornography related purposes. Does that mean we're all complicit as taxpayers? Or maybe it's that the child pornographers are the guilty parties and common carriers are not the police.

Moral issue aside, thanks to the unwisely expanded reach of the law via FOSTA (at least in the United States), a person who merely hosts such data might be liable:

Because of the hypothetical impedance of some unknown (but likely very small) amount of trafficking, millions of people found it more difficult to find partners for their entirely consensual acts.

Tor is e2e encrypted connection, currently censors address such systems by requesting your private key, not by shutting down the whole thing.

Congratulations you've spawned another decade's worth of sov-cit arguments

Since they do it for noble reasons, they aren't guilty.
