That's why we built our Attribution Engine [0]. We help platforms to deal with CSAM, IBSA and any toxic content and copyright.
The way it works is that platform uses our SDK through which they "send" all uploaded content. The SDK generates a fingerprint that is sent to our service and a license is issued. The license is non/permissible, so they instruct platform and the uploader (creator) what to do. We also provide payment distribution, usage reporting and ADR (alternative dispute resolution).
If platform uses our service, we indemnify them from any liabilities under DMCA, EUCD and others up to $50M in damages (legal cost and/or court orders).
We charge % of revenue generated by the platform for our services. If platform generates no revenue, the service is free. We don't charge per lookup nor there is any scale limit (well, there are throughput limits, but they are quite far for most platforms [currently we can search around 1.1k hours of content every second]).
We cover video, sound recordings and compositions. Images are coming late this year and text sometimes next year.
Just a quick note on the moderation. The benefit of our structure is the moderation is "outsourced" back to law enforcement and gov agencies, like NCMEC and FBI in US, Bundespolizei in Germany, etc.). This means platforms don't have to hire people to moderate the covered content, because the liability is transferred back to the organizations that are create it in the first place.
We built our adminless Internet forum [1] for the same reason. It's splendid on the dev side because initially we built traditional moderation tools (they still exists in the Git), but then we deleted it all and it felt much simpler.
Still waiting to see if it will work from a moderation standpoint. The site's been live for almost a year with no issue yet.
Edit: It's a text only forum, which makes this a lot easier. I was thinking about allowing images but with a high per image fee.
It's complicated, because there are legal requirements across many different jurisdiction. The product was built to explicitly solve for the liability issues platforms are facing.
I like your solution. Up until it works for you, that's great.

That sounds interesting, but complicated.
