This is already how the world works right now.
I am merely describing the current state of the world. There is no required automatic filtering. No required AI bots. Instead, if you want something taken down, in the USA, you have to go through a difficult process of filing a DMCA takedown notice.
Thats the currently law, and is how most of the major US platform works. Its difficult to enforce this stuff, and I like it that way.

Nah. Copying stuff is free. Unless someone breaks into your house, and steals a physical item, I don't care about your ownership "rights" of digital information that is free to copy.
Anything that makes it more difficult, in any way at all, to enforce laws on digital free to copy stuff, is good.

They've tried and they've failed. DMCA laws are very clear cut. Send in the notice, engages in the super difficult process, and if someone reuploads it, well sucks to be you, go spend the effort to make another DMCA takedown request.
It is how most of the US platforms work.
