The archive does host a lot of CSAM though - not to impugn the work of the archive, but whenever somebody seems to report CSAM to the archive, pages are merely hidden rather than fully removed (eg with a vpn). A user complained on x a while ago about the archive not removing CSAM when reported and some archived pages (like smutty.***) contain potentially hundreds of CSAM. Have you at least considered looking yourself and removing any CSAM you see?
CSAM in user (not, for example, NCMEC’s) reports is often not actually CSAM, but merely a magic word they expect will prioritize their messages. It is not uncommon for users to claim copyright on their “CSAM.”
Many Smutty’s pages reported by authorities have been removed, so I assume they have reviewed everything. Total removal of whole Smutty is sort of an OSINT case, not a CSAM one.
