Just an open question since we keep getting situations like this where the industry effectively admits it is incapable and unwilling to act to stop the worst elements of the industry (child exploitation, human trafficking, forced involvement, rape etc) that it's probably best to just ban the industry together.
Notice though I said using real people, with AI slowly getting better and CGI improving, why do we need real people to make porn? Just have something animated to be realistic enough as I don't give a fuck about pixels or a drawing. Have whatever kink you want, have entire porn snuff films whatever as no REAL people are getting harmed in the making if it. The worst that can happen is stressed artists trying to meet deadlines.
This might also affect adult streamers which is just a bonus as it'll be like a re-run of Projekt Melody when she became more popular since she did more than just strip and stare blankly at the camera till donations came in. A lot of porn or porn in all but name streaming (which I include Twitch on that) get money off just simply being pretty and that's it, denying that as an easy route will probably cause a shift in a lot of media.
I wouldn't advocate a FULL ban as no matter your feeling on it generally, it is a release so going full puritan invites a backlash and probably just forces more men to deal with insufferable feminist women. But just making that release fully fictional based than support an industry that sweeps horrific practices under the rug for money is probably for the best.

Like most things, people should be practicing self-control, moderation, and restraint in the face of soul-destroying temptations.
Shouldn't we care for our neighbors and people more than that? Shouldn't we want the people we care about to not hurt themselves? If we truly care about someone, would we not tell them when they make a mistake, and if need be, cut them off from known destructive pursuits, just as a firefighter rescues someone from a fire?
By your own logic, should we not get rid of all laws, because people should be free to make whatever decision they wish, guided solely by their own "self-control, moderation, and restraint"? Isn't modern society already like that, with hedonism aplenty? What's happened with Western society as we've let immorality reign? More and more people have fallen to it. That's not the actions of a caring people. It's those of addicts, cowards too afraid to say "this is wrong", too afraid to enforce their morality on others, and others too apathetic to care.
What happens to civilization when hedonism, immorality, cowardice, and apathy reign?
