If people post their own pictures without a copyright notice, are they by default in the public domain? There are plenty of places people post porn. A friend told me see reddit.com/r/ <there are many nsfw websites there>. Just google it. Unlike many other places, in gone wild at least people are generally posting their own stuff. It's kind of an amazing concept, that there are apparently hundreds of thousands of people over time that are willing to post pics of themselves naked.

No.

Interesting... In that situation how is the licence determined? According to the platform policy?

Anything published without a copyright notice still has a copyright.

> Until March 1, 1989, a published work had to contain a valid copyright notice to receive protection under the copyright laws. But this requirement is no longer in force — works first published after March 1, 1989, need not include a copyright notice to gain protection under the law.
