They are bored so go ahead and send pictures to a pedophile? What?
- frognumber 4y agoI do fundamentally agree with the logic -- we should be looking at harm. If I had send nude picks as a kid, and nothing came of it, it's probably not an issue. However: - With growing compromises, anything sent on the internet today is likely to be found and linked back someday. - We have no idea what risks will happen in 20 years. - Even today, it can lead to stalky / groomy / etc. things Those sorts of rare events won't be captured well in metrics. Usually, it's not that 100% of people are harmed, but that 1% suffers extreme harm. So as much as I agree with the logic, I disagree with the conclusion. (you're the other way around: your conclusion is right, but your logic is missing, and replaced by outrage)
- P5fRxh5kUvp2th 4y agowhile I understand your point, I have to believe that anyone hosting and showing naked underage pictures is very quickly going to decide not to so that particular threat really holds little water.
- clolege 4y agoI meant it as an honest, open-ended question. Would you prefer them to just not explore their sexuality? Or explore it online with people they know, like their classmates?
- prepend 4y agoThere’s ways to explore sexuality besides sending nudes to strangers and being tricked into transactional relationships that exploit their sexuality. Everyone matures at different rates, but I think it’s pretty universal that no 13 year old is mature enough to consent to nude photos sent to strangers who are likely adults. Not to mention it’s criminal.
