Did you know that if I (as an under 18) was to take naked pictures of myself, that would make me a paedophile in the eyes of UK law? Even if I didn't send them to anyone, I would be guilty of "creating an indecent image of a child", even if the child was myself!
Same thing in Australia. Big in the media a few months back - trying to get the laws changed so as not to have kids who've made a mistake by sending pics to a bf/gf while under 18 paying for it by being put on sex offender register for however long, thus blocking out a large number of career/life choices.
Kinda makes a mockery of the whole sex offender registry by having them on there with people who ACTUALLY are dangerous. Also stretches already stretched resources in monitoring the people on the register...
Naked photos/videos?
