Getting normies onto federated platforms is going to be a real problem. With centralized services, all people need to know is they type in the name "Twitter" or "Reddit" to Google and click the first link. They've probably seen the site and browsed it already. What federated platforms need is a flagship instance that people can easily find. In order to be a real competitor, that instance needs to be able to handle millions of active users.
The EU is your friend when it comes to privacy bro.
A yearbook photo is not porn.
What about the fact that the girls who are victims of something like this will have to contend with the pictures being online if someone posts them there? What if people who don't know that the pictures depict minors re-post them to other sites, making them very difficult to remove? That can cause very serious employablity problems. It doesn't matter how open minded people are, they don't want porn coming up if someone googles one of their employees.
Circulating porn of minors is a crime and enables pedophiles. Not to mention teenage girls could easily commit suicide over something like this.
In general, I'm against "censorship." There's also no reason why we should allow non consensual porn to be circulated. Abolishing online porn entirely would instantly solve the question of "revenge porn" and whether consent was obtained.
There's a certain amount of logic to the idea that you should allow bad people to feel free to express themselves so they can be identified, but I don't think that fully holds up with porn and can lead to women being harmed. Girls who are 18-22 aren't in a position to fully resist the temptation being offered by a lot of sex work possibilities. They haven't learned about money yet and getting offered "a lot" in the short term is going to be too hard for them to weigh against selling out their future at that age. For every "empowered sex worker" out there who makes a good living and really wants to be in that work, there are many more who were exploited or got into it because of mental illness or trauma. Commodification of sex is ultimately a feature of the capitalist system.
Considering the consequences for a high school student if porn of them gets circulated, I'm fine with putting them on the registry. Expungement can happen later based on the aftermath. Teenage girls have killed themselves over this sort of thing.
They're still making porn of a minor. That is harmful to them and it enables any pedophiles who find it.
If you produce CP, you should be on a registry for producing and distributing CP. If you create CP, you are enabling pedophilia.
This can be prosecuted with existing CP laws.
Technically someone could just make a headless browser and then scrape everything that way, Advancements in AI will make headless browsing easier and companies like Facebook won't be able to block automation by changing the HTML multiple times per day.
