With deepfakes and plenty of ways to obfuscate videos to get around detection via editing, there's NO recourse and it isn't the fault of Pornhub, Youtube or any other website who takes good faith measures to identify the users who upload the content. The victims have recourse in court - with those who uploaded it.

Beyond that, all roads lead to users can't be trusted with cameras or the ability to upload digital content.

A user who reuploads without knowing should be held to the same standard as a sexual predator uploading without consent with intent to harm?

Someone who uploads videos of others who didn't know the people were all 18 didn't take the necessary precautions. Sites make one declare and certify everyone is 18 in the videos.

And for standards, that's exactly how it works for cp victims, the doj will take steps to notify the victim anytime they catch someone who posted or possessed it, so there can be civil damages in addition to criminal.
