1) I just want to point out the obvious comment that if she found the number of clips impossible to track, maybe video hosting sites would also find it impossible to track. Short of creating a ContentID type of system (with its own host of big problems) that would check each edited clip for this content, it's almost impossible for a platform to police an entire Internet's worth of clips. (and a content checking system for homemade porn would probably be a lot harder than a system for a relatively limited catalog of corporate media)
2) IMO, the flaw here is passing the buck from legislators/prosecutors and outsourcing their job to web apps. If criminal acts are being performed, it's not Pornhub that's the police. It's legislators and prosecutors that need to create laws (and enforce them) against harassment, blackmail, malicious acts, etc. Pornhub's job should be to comply with any court orders with all available information for investigation and prosecution.
3) As a general comment, at the risk of being pilloried for victim-blaming, some big problems would be avoided by teaching more smart thinking to young people. If you're in a community that cares about this kind of thing, don't let your significant other setup the camera in the bedroom and don't send nudes that include your face. Even if everybody followed this advice perfectly, it wouldn't solve every problem, but many bad outcomes may be avoided.

You aren't off the hook because it's difficult to do. > It's legislators and prosecutors that need to create laws I agree. What we have is not working. > some big problems would be avoided by teaching more smart thinking to young people. Perhaps. I think society should just get over this sort of thing. People fuck each other- imagine that! But as long as society wants to use evidence of that against you it's still harmful for the victim unfortunately.
- logicalmonster 4y ago> You aren't off the hook because it's difficult to do. IANAL (I am not a lawyer) and I guess the reason for this can be interpreted in different ways, but keeping companies off the hook partially because it's difficult for private companies to be the police is arguably what society has decided to do through Section 230 of the CDA. > I think society should just get over this sort of thing. People fuck each other- Perhaps, but this seems like something ingrained into many humans for a variety of reasons on a level that maybe can't be overcome.
