Right but if we follow this to it's logical end we're at the same place. In my mind any platform that can be used to promote sex work is going to have these issues. Does that mean we just push sex work back into the dangerous fringes of society?

Pornhub monetizing user uploaded content is what caused these issues. A Porn company that employs only legal workers avoids, or at least minimizes, this issue. I think the fundamental problem here is people's demand for free pornography.

Isn't that the same case as if Uber where the users uploading content should become employees?
