Pretty wild the standards we want to hold PornHub to, but somehow turn a blind eye on Twitter and Reddit. PornHub should get your ID and do a whole background check on you to be extra sure, but we'd be outraged if Twitter or Reddit asked for your ID because free speech.

And now we have federated porn which makes everything even harder to control.

User generated content has a presumption of consent: It is PRESUMED that the user who is uploading the work work likely created it - and it is reasonable to presume those involved in said work gave consent or otherwise the user had rights to use the content in this way. When you DO NOT have rights to the work, that is when DMCA take downs come into play, and other legal actions - and in that case, you can expect financial penalties, account suspensions/bans, and so on.

There are some serious problems in Canadian law. This situation doesn't come even close to one of them.
