Comment on So today I finally deleted the bird app
UraniumBlazer@lemm.ee 5 months agoHmm… I mean I’m not challenging this explanation, but I’m just a little curious about this I suppose? So starting from when I was like 13-14, I regularly sent and received nudes of other people my age I met on gay forums n shit. Uk… Sexting n stuff. Now I know that this could’ve gone incredibly ugly had I been deanonymized n stuff. But I mean… I had fun at the time and am in contact (not that regular tho) with some of these guys (and I’m an adult now).
I had fun at the time and was not coerced into anything by anyone. I was just a horny teen with an out and so were they. How’s this abuse? Like who’s the abuser? I’m sure it wasn’t us, as no one coerced anyone into doing anything.

That’s I guess why CSEM is used, because if the images are being shared around exploitation has clearly occurred. I can see where you’re coming from though.
What I will say is that there are some weird laws around it, and there have even been cases where kids have been convicted of producing child pornography… of themselves. It’s a bizarre situation. If anything, seems like abuse of the court system at that point.
Luckily a lot of places have been patching the holes in their laws.
