xposting from GBS, it was something to laugh at there, but I am genuinely curious about D&D's perspective. This sub forum seems far more sex-positive and willing to discuss issues regarding the morality culture war I can't say I'm surprised that these libertine hedonists pushing their ideology of feeling good all the time would take a weekend ski trip down the slippery slope of sexual immorality. We all knew this was coming, but it seems no one cares as long as everyone can get their jollies http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/04/o...ght-region&_r=0 quote:TEENAGERS who sext are in a precarious legal position. Though in most states teenagers who are close in age can legally have consensual sex, if they create and share sexually explicit images of themselves, they are technically producing, distributing or possessing child pornography. The laws that cover this situation, passed decades ago, were meant to apply to adults who exploited children and require those convicted under them to register as sex offenders. quote:Given the extensive research that shows that young people who are nonwhite, low income, gay or transgender are disproportionately prosecuted for many crimes, there is good reason to suspect that laws that criminalize teenage sexting are being unfairly applied as well. As legislators have tried to cope with the legal fallout, they have also opened up more types of images to scrutiny: While child pornography laws apply only to sexually explicit images, many new sexting laws criminalize all nude images of teenagers, including photos of topless teenage girls. quote:Both existing child pornography laws and new sexting-specific laws criminalize a common behavior among teenagers. Studies have shown that roughly one-third of 16- and 17-year-olds share suggestive images on their cellphones. Among young adults, rates are above 50 percent. In the past, partners wrote love letters, sent suggestive Polaroids and had phone sex. Today, for better or worse, this kind of interpersonal sexual communication also occurs in a digital format. And it’s not just young people: An article in an AARP magazine describes sexting as “fun, easy and usually harmless.” Now children are sllowed to produce and distribute their own child pornograpgy, then they will be publishing this filth on Instagram or YouTube or facebook or wherever, before you know it I won't be able to do a simple google search without being spammed with child porn made by degenerate exhibitionistic children lasciviously displaying their (lack of) shame to the world. Thank you liberals for all that you do so on a serious note here are the basic questions to be addressed as I see them: 1: does a child taking a nude photograph of themselves constitute the production of child pornography? 2: does a child sharing such a photograph constitute distributing child pornography? 3: how should the laws regarding criminally obscene materials such as child porn be properly enforced in these cases? 4: should there be any changes to the law regarding this issue and what are the implications of such changes?

LorneReams posted:I think charging children with possession of child pornography of themselves is the most retarded example of spirit vs. word of law I can imagine. It serves no purpose and is punitive for punitive sake. Okay what if they decided to put those up on Instagram or YouTube or their own privately hosted website? Kids are all about the likes these days what if they decide they can get a lot lf attention by sharing it freely with people?

Jarmak posted:You take it down Of course, but what stops them from doing it again an again in their search for attention? Also, what does it mean if it's not criminal for them to publish that garbage, but it because they are doing so, it comes up on my rss fees or newsfeed or wherever. Will people be held criminally liable for seeing these obscene images, lumped into the same group as Jared from subway, while the producers and distributors have no consequences?

OwlFancier posted:I mean morally that's only really reprehensible if they're posting other people's naked pictures and for the same reason it would be if they were both adults. How is it morally acceptable for children to publish sexually naked and/or explicit images of themselves?
