In fairness, from the social media company's point of view, there is a benefit in having an online regulator in that instance because it means the company is spared the expense of being brought to court. It is informed through an efficient mechanism at an early stage that there was no consent for these intimate images to be online. If the company does not comply with that, then civil liability kicks in.
