More to the point, I’m not arguing against recourse, just against cumbersome impositions against free expression. I argue instead for high levels of freedom and high penalties for abuse.

Playing devil’s advocate couldn’t it also be said lack of recourse chills expression? ig refusing pics out of concern they could later be posted without recourse.

The “proof of prior consent” standard (analogous to the crazy “enthusiastic consent” standard in interpersonal contact) is an intentionally cumbersome open door to restricting liberty. It chills speech. See the EU Copyright Directive, FOSTA/SESTA, 2257, and every censorious law that has been sought by lunatic feminists like Catherine MacKinnon and her proteges to regulate the internet.

Could see an issue if the website/ publisher of user generated content were required to maintain consent records of every image posted or if a ‘formal contract’ were specified by the regulation, otherwise it comes across as a check/balance to thwart non-consensual posting of private images.

In this day and age when a she said – he said game of spin the bottle can derail a career perhaps it is in poster’s best interest to have prior proof of consent. Websites already use affirmative TOS agreements aka ‘prior consent’
