That's the other moan that I have to laugh at;  "I just don't understand why they would want to take nude pictures fo themselves."  You don't have to understand, dude, and your lack of understanding is on you.

Would McKayla Maroney need to register as a sex offender (after repaying her debt to society, of course)?

I would like to hear Beeb's take on this.

Why?

It is not illegal for someone underage to take pictures of themselves.

How is this even remotely relevant?

I have to admit I am kind of baffled at this line of reasoning.

I guess you're right-- your strawman is not directly relevant.

Weren't some teens charged in a few states on this? I think the laws been changed since then, but when camera phones really started to become big it happened.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.

I think some teens were charged with "sexting" - that is, taking nude pics of themselves and sending them to other people.

Being charged for that is dumb IMO, but it is still far from being charged simply for making the pics in the first place.

It varies states by states but naked picture, yes.

And she did send them somewhere: to Apple.

It is going to depend on the specific wording of the local law in question, but in Canada there's nothing that would specifically exempt a person from a charge of producing child pornography if they take a picture of themselves.

HOWEVER

laying such a charge would be so phenomenally stupid no cop would ever charge it.  If some cop was that stupid no prosecutor would ever prosecute it.  And if you had a both a phenomenally stupid cop and a phenomenally stupid prosecutor, no judge or jury would ever convict.

Austrian law states that pics of people 14+ are legal if they're made for "personal use" with knowledge and consent of the person, or if a person above 14 creates them his-/herself and shares them if there's "no substantial risk of further spreading."

Which sounds like a common sense approach, but considering how easy it is for such content to be shared among, say, class mates to shame someone ...

I was just taking the piss, Beeb.

Btw it's funny how Lena Dunham is injecting herself into this incident.  Almost like she's pissed nobody hacked her iCloud account to see her gross pictures.

I think the general feel at this point is that Lena Dunham is so obnoxious.
