KYC won't work on anything related to sex work, and most of the people uploading videos to these websites are semi-professionalized to sex work now. KYC doesn't work because sex work is largely illegal in most countries or states/provinces. > The point is not to build a totalitarian internet with one world government user registration: it's to correlate accountability with scale. You can already do this with PGP. You'd just need an operator/vendor who values confidentiality but also can handle the overhead of managing identities from a systematic viewpoint.

> KYC doesn't work because sex work is largely illegal in most countries or states/provinces. So, KYC + legalization.

> KYC doesn't work because sex work is largely illegal in most countries or states/provinces. There are many forms of sex work, usually only specific forms are illegal.

Pornography is protected speech in the US. So the US' KYC laws would be fine.
