Nonconsensual porn laws generally aren't restricted to commercial use, and some include fake images with intentional and recognizable use of likeness (some also don't, its a mixed bag.)

Yes, commercial use of likeness is also an issue, and it may or may not be violated simply by distribution of something use the likeness on a commercial website like civitai.

Won't section 230 cover the former?
Section 230 might cover right of publicity claims for an innocent host or user, but not for the user submitting the content.

Revenge porn laws are generally criminal, and as such unaffected by Section 230.
