Perhaps it's time to change pornography laws. Requiring a license for the creation/distribution of pornography where the actor isn't the person creating/distributing seems like a good path. Allows people to send each other their own nudes and create onlyfans of themselves but not a lot else. If independent creators wanted to get licensed then they could.

How would this help? Isn't non-consensual uploading already criminalized?

  It's tricky since people who reupload videos do not know if they are consensual or not.

    Not knowing if the other party has consented means you don't have consent.

      So somebody who reuploads a video that they like should be held to the same standard as the original uploader of revenge porn? I think this is a lot of convenient dodging and dancing around the idea that Section 230 might possibly need to be revised.

        If someone reuploads a video they're breaking copyright law at the very least. I know it's a common occurrence in the porn industry, but taking something you don't have the rights to and uploading it to the internet is still illegal. You can't download Star Wars and put it on YouTube. Uploading someone else's porn is not only similar, it's also much more personal. I'd say that unless they know the exact circumstances and all the details about the production process, reuploading pornographic content of real people should be considered nonconsensual until consent can be proven. It's not hard to accidentally reupload content that was originally leaked by an abusive ex and you have no business choosing where to upload the content anyway. I think it's important for people in the porn industry to be able to remove as much of their released material as they want at a later date. Reproductive rights and the freedom of choice over one's body is under pressure in more and more countries in the world and an old leaked porn shoot can leave some nasty damage.

        > If someone reuploads a video they're breaking copyright law Are you sure? What if the copyright holder encourages it?
        jeroenhd 4y ago
        Alright, if the artist releases their content under the right licenses with the right statements reuploading is acceptable. I've yet to see any Creative Commons porn sites, though. I don't think it's a very realistic scenario.
        2OEH8eoCRo0 4y ago
        You're missing the scenario. If somebody uploads revenge porn to hurt somebody else then they don't care- they want the content reuploaded and spread around. Copyright law doesn't do anything here.

  OnlyFans official policy is that this is not allowed on a profile unless the other person(s) is doxxed to OnlyFans There already is a trend in this direction Currently implemented in a clumsy cumbersome fashion with some unofficial workarounds
