2. Regarding this:

"Require any user uploading a video to the platform also upload a signed consent form from every individual appearing in the video"

This would be extremely complicated for producers with hundreds of videos featuring tens or hundreds of different models - especially in case they want to apply that to the scenes already uploaded. If each agreement / model release (where models grand the right to publish their video) is several pages long and it must be uploaded with every single video, that is going to take s shitload of time.. not to mention that many producers located outside USA don't have their model releases in English.

3. This along with Article13 in Europe (https://www.article13.org/) means quite a shitty situation for tubes and content thieves
