No, I'm saying it's hard for sex abuse victims to get their videos off Pornhub.
> How are they supposed to know it's the same video?
If they can't even prevent re-uploads of known illegal videos, maybe they should never have allowed user uploads at all.

If they go to the police, who have the ability to get a court order, and they don't, isn't your issue with the police? > If they can't even prevent re-uploads of known illegal videos How do you propose that they know that it's the same video? Trivial checks like whether it's byte for byte identical are just as trivially bypassed by the uploader, e.g. by reencoding. Anything more complicated than that will fail to match with 100% accuracy, especially when the uploader is trying to cause that to happen. And then you would still have people complaining that the videos are there again. This isn't a job for the platform. It's a job for the police.

I'm not making money from user uploaded videos of young girls, so I don't need to have an answer to that question. > This isn't a job for the platform. It's a job for the police. No, it's not. It's the platforms job to ensure they don't distribute unlawful content. You don't want the police involved, since all they can really do is seize the domain and block the website altogether. (And that's exactly what they do for file sharing websites)
