So... you didn't stop it. You only stopped it on a couple websites by making all content creators to provide identity verification

The only way to actually stop it is completely remove anonymity from the internet. Which is a nightmare scenario for many reasons. But it seems to be the current direction we're going.



Revenge porn and exploitation are already a nightmare scenario. Only maybe it doesn't involve you, so you don't think it's a problem?


I never said it wasn't a problem.

But destroying the internet by ending all concepts of privacy and anonymity isn't a solution though. It's what every government wants, and they'll give you whatever sob story is necessary to trick people into thinking it's for their own good. It's not.
