If there is a husband who is living with his wife, and he drugs her and sexually assaults her, wouldn't he also have access to her ID to scan it and upload it? I guess at a certain point, any kind of roadblocks will lower the chances this person uploading the content.

What's the alternative to victims scouring the internet and issuing takedown requests? Some centralized porn database where you can type in someone's name and see what porn they've done?

I mean this completely unironically: ContentID. It exists exactly for this use-case because copyright holders don't want to scour the internet for violations either. If you're a victim and you find that someone posted a video of you being assaulted online you should be able to register that video with ContentID and have every site immediately and automatically take down the video everywhere.

Yes it will only affect above-board sites but broadly speaking those are the sites with large audiences and the ones you really care about.


We already have an apparatus to do this for copyrighted material that people go far further out of their way to share and download. It should be far easier to get some amateur porn video off the web than a BDrip of Disney's Coco.

If the question is "who should shoulder the cost of takedown," my suggestion is that offenders and porn industry behemoths should pay into a fund that finances redflagged content takedown efforts.
