You don't need a lawyer or money to file a DMCA claim.

You just need basic reading and writing skills.

Anyone can file one.

A lot of the victims of this sort of exploitation are not well educated, are not tech savvy (hence their images ending up stolen or in odd places), and are not able to navigate a DMCA claim or follow a website's protocol for handling DMCA take downs.

Reddit is effectively using this and shifting the blame to the victims with this argument and using exploited women to generate reddit gold transactions and ad revenue. That's fucked up.
