The problem here is assuming that civitai would be the ones who are accountable. I don't think that's the case since they're just hosting a collection of perfectly legal Stable Diffusion checkpoints (aka "models").

The correct solution is a no ads marketplace. Where search results return what the user searched for and literally no one (not even Amazon) gets to pay to put their products at the top of the results.

If you take a test at the end of every class to demonstrate mastery of the subject how is that not cost effective?
