I agree with your take and that moral panic is a very fitting description.

It always strikes me as odd when anarchists use the same arguments and logic for social controls that libs use to discredit anarchy.

One would assume that “Think of the children” being widely recognized as a flawed rhetorical tactic would prevent leftists from so quickly adopting it. That and it’s popularity with the evangelicals and right wing reactionaries.

I’m assuming that most people aren’t into revenge porn, which means that it’s more of a niche thing for horrible misogynists. This would suggest that not being able to use this specific site would only be a minor inconvenience. I might be wrong but I don’t see this actually helping much of anyone.

Well even if that’s the case, it would still only be a minor inconvenience to post it to a different site, I’d guess.

That’s possible tbh. But I would suspect that removing huge amounts of content would send a lot of traffic to other sites. So yeah, don’t really know.

Honestly it’s not a problem that I expect can be solved by religious zealots, lawmakers or corporations.

I would be interested in seeing how much abusive content there was vs. Consensual stuff. That would be a factor in how much credit I give to people who did this.

Yeah. Really all I can hope for is that better platforms pop up for sex workers to distribute their work.

to then get policies created that harm sex workers & force more regulation and repression of sex in general, that do nothing to address their alleged concerns.

All pornhub has done is make a required verification process for a user to begin posting, this will have little to no effect on legitimate sex workers. This will only affect people who make an account just to post revenge porn, rape, and other illegal shit.
