Don't forget revenge porn, which was already illegal but gets Republicans really mad when it's of Hunter Biden but also taken down.

It's not "revenge porn" if the images have already been leaked. Just like it's not espionage to report on information already leaked.

Is that true with revenge porn? Because with, for example, child porn, it's not like they're only going after the people making it but also the people distributing it.

Another, more analogous example: Most of those old celebrity leaks (fappening) are illegal content to host/distribute, which is why sites wouldn't/couldn't allow it even if it would drive up user traffic. (Afaik)
