Last year Congress mulled over a bill (EARN IT Act) that would explicitly require online services to proactively search for CSAM, by allowing services to be sued by governments for failing to do so. It would also allow services to be sued for failing to provide law-enforcement back doors to encrypted data. There's also SESTA/FOSTA, already in law, that rescinded CDA 230 protection for cases involving sex trafficking.
Quite honestly, my opinion is that any service not scanning for CSAM is living on borrowed time.
