I have not, and would not, actively seek out child pornography. However, I have a clue about how the modern Internet works. Any semi-intelligent publisher of child pornography is going to use things like hidden services on Tor. The IWF has zero impact on that; they might as well have a mission to target drug dealers who advertise in local newspapers.
The IWF effectively has two missions.
The IWF has one mission: keep the Government off the ISPs' backs. It was formed by the Government as an alternative to hamfisted State regulation.
(As it happens, it's also hamfisted. But anyway.)
