That wouldn't be difficult. Just make people verify their age before they can post videos. Easy. Gambling sites in the UK already requires age verification and it works fine. Tinder here in Japan requires age verification too and while not perfect it's certainly better than effectively just shutting down the business.

Yeah, but what is to stop an adult from registering and then having sex with a minor in a video afterward, a parent with their child, or a teacher with an underage student, etc.? They either have to screen every video before it goes live, which would take a massive and expensive screening team, or use an AI recognition algorithm designed to flag potentially under 18 individuals based on their appearance (which might flag overage people accidentally).  This is what the banks are concerned about apparently, policing child pornography is no easy task. I guess they thought it would be easier to just rely on income from their non-porn users, rather than going the Pornhub route and only allowing videos from verified users. And they are apparently still allowing softcore nudity, just nothing explicit, so they will be getting some money for that.

I mean, can't you say the same thing about literally every porn site with user content?
