It's honestly baffling that I have to explain this, but: Expressing interest in finding someone to date does not imply any form of consent to being sent nudes.

Some people might want that, and for them it would make sense if platforms added an opt-in feature to signal their interest in unsolicited nudes, or to opt-out of whatever form of filtering there might be.
But the default should be that you can open an app for meeting people without being forced to see someone's dick.
- benj111 4y agoWell I've already covered the second two paragraphs. And I didn't claim the first paragraph was the case. But I can see a flirty conversation getting to a point where sending a nude might be reasonable to one party. Just like putting a hand on someone's inner thigh might be reasonable to one party at a certain point in a date. It may not be appreciated, signs might have been misread, but unless you want people to sign contracts before they go to bed with each other there's always the danger of there being misunderstandings. And in my view misunderstandings shouldn't be criminalised. My girlfriend might not appreciate me sending her nudes. I hope we can agree that's different to flashing at random people on the street. My point is there's nuance. This isn't a black and white issue, certainly in the context of a dating app.
