Asking someone experiencing sexual trauma to 'let it be' is such a dismissive take.
Being a victim of revenge porn means that you can be blackmailed at anytime. Most people do not want to be sexualized, and it's humiliating to have to live with the fact that your coworkers will now have ammo to harass over you if they discover your videos. Don't get me started on what happens if you have kids, and their friends find out you were in porn.
Realistically, you can't scrub the internet of a video. I personally feel like the solution is that porn should be highly regulated. A formalized content upload process, licensing, required staff to deal with these types of complaints. It should be impossible to upload a video without a signed waver from the participants. Sure, this might remove pure anonymity, but you can still have mechanisms in place to protect your identity if you want to make amateur content without divulging your identity to the public.
“Asking someone experiencing cyber bullying to 'let it be' is such a dismissive take. Realistically, you can't scrub the internet of cyber bullying. I personally feel like the solution is that comments should be highly regulated. A formalized posting process, licensing, required staff to deal with these types of complaints. It should be impossible to comment referencing someone else without a signed waver from the participants.

This sound similar to any other regimes in recent memory? Porn isn’t the argument I’m responding to, it’s short sighted bandaid solutions which require ADDITIONAL regulation and government control. We all know these systems of regulation bleed into other parts of the internet. Are you willing to start this trend and put it into the hands of someone whom you disagree with?
You are equating mean youtube comments to revenge porn. This is the whole "We should just ban cars" response when someone brings up gun control.

If the comment is a nude picture of myself and I didn't give you permission to post it the law already agrees that this should be illegal. All I'm asking is to make it enforceable.
Porn is shady industry ripe with abuse and exploitation. How do you know the person you are watching is over 18? Let me answer that... You don't. Some industries should be given more regulatory scrutiny than others.
