I'll go one further: I have child porn of myself online and I don't support the Earn-IT Act. Then again, having my online presence wiped out after 7.5 years at the age of 12 when COPPA went into effect made me really cynical.
As did the fact that nobody listened to the few of us who were children online back then. It's always based on these weird, interesting hypotheticals.
(This isn't to minimize child abuse or trafficking, of course.)
Edit: Also I'll say as someone who's been online for almost 30 years (age 4 to now almost 34) that the harassment and sexual abuse I received/was subject to were at their highest levels from the ages of 14 to 25.
