There's a really cool discussion within that question. It's a Chicken-Egg question. Are people finding weirder and stupider things to do because there is more and more regulation, or is there more and more regulation because people are doing stupid and weird things.
I personally think the problem is social; but, hey, I'm a 22 year old liberal. There is so much sexual and personal oppression in North America that it's borderline impossible to explore without a) breaking the law, or b) being taboo. I mean, kids exploring their own sexuality shouldn't be taboo. We all did it. And I know that no one wants their kids to be subject to being harassed and teased because they sent a nude picture to someone and they forwarded it to a million people (see the "documentary" American Teen for a great example) but that's the nature of the beast.
When does it stop is my question. I'm not crusading against some angsty Orwellian Social disease, but at some point we won't have room to breathe. Are we really protecting kids by doing this? I know someone said "it isn't these pictures that make perverts" and I couldn't agree more. We are just trimming the leaves by doing this. There has to be a better way of regulating shit like this than "Hey, you! 15 year old who is trying to figure out who they are! Your a pervert and disgusting for being a TEENAGER!"
It's kind of disgusting.
