There is a very big difference between me going on Twitter and saying “Jenn is a ho” and me going on Pornhub and uploading a private video of Jenn being a ho.

Pornhub already does more to combat that than most sites. They removed all unverified content back in 2020. To post anything now you have to verify who you are first and join their model program.

You can just go to Twitter and upload a video of Jenn being a ho with no checks. Yes there’s a lot of porn on Twitter that’s why I picked that and not Facebook/Instagram.

That’s why legally it’s tricky, because currently the laws don’t hold sites liable for user content as long as illegal content is taken down quickly as it gets reported, which PornHub complied with. The victims are claiming PornHub should be legally responsible to block the upload in the first place, and that argument can also apply to other sites where we eventually end up where everything is censored and checked like in China.

Oh, I don’t use Twitter, so I wasn’t aware that people are sharing videos there. I stand corrected.
