Admittedly the US is a little backward in terms of child laws and children do not have the same rights in place as exist in literally every other country on the planet - but, there are folks ready to deal with pseudo CP and more important actual offenses against children and the volume of actual CP on US servers (estimated to be 50-60% of the world's total "representation" of net CP).

In Canada, this is covered under the Child Protection Act and in the EU, under a variety of legislation - ranging from obscenity laws to whatever. The bottom line effect is the same - basically it falls under the respective penal codes.
