My autistic sense of morality is off a little with this. My guess is that this type of thing happens far more often to unsuspecting adult women simply using public changing rooms or public bathrooms, etc.
My guess is that the child-incidents here are much fewer and far between and rarely ever publicly shared – and when they are shared (even if not publicly) it's taken extremely seriously by law enforcement (as it should be).
On the other hand, I get the impression that it's relatively easy to find this type content featuring adult women on popular porn / social networks – at least I see stuff that looks suspicious quite often on sites like Reddit and 4chan.
I really wish more focus was put on the "revenge porn" / "hidden camera" area generally. It's quite sad that so many women are victims to this and as a society we don't really seem to care unless a child is involved. In fact I'd argue our society and media almost normalises perving on adult women. Just search for any random famous celeb women and there's probably a dozen popular sites with nude or semi-nude photos of her taken by some perv spying on her during vacation. Anyone care to put some effort into stopping that? Why is that content even allowed on the public internet?

Consenting adults can do whatever they like, including creating consensual/fake hidden camera pornography, and there's quite some market for such content. In general, at a glance, there's no way to distinguish legitimate from illegitimate content, no matter the pornographic (or other) genre. So how do you know what's illegal and what's not? It's by no means easy to solve at the level of an individual piece, let alone at scale. Many of the proposed solutions amount to mass surveillance, invade the privacy of performers, or make it so onerous to upload pornography that they effectively amount to bans of it. It's no secret that the Christian Right are quietly supportive of certain “anti-exploitation” approaches because they would destroy the market for legal pornography, putting sex workers out of work. It's a very difficult balancing act and no position avoids harming someone.

How could this be even done? If you have open internet, then its every hard. If you just try to keep it off some specific sites, like facebook, its still hard. Facebook pays a lot of money to Accenture to clean up facebook, but from time to time you can still find something what is not supposed to be there.
Society takes the child-incidents more seriously because of how much more vulnerable children are to predators and how much trauma a predator can inflict. We take a snip it in the bud approach with anyone involved in these crimes. I agree that what you are talking about is terrible, and if law enforcement had unlimited resources we would stop all of that activity too.
