Understood. I don’t know where you’re from, so let me tell you about a common legal concept in the United States: aiding and abetting. Basically, if you knowingly help someone commit a crime (possessing cp), you’re often guilty of a crime as well. Plus, there’s the issue of distributing cp. That’s a crime in itself.

To me, though, the legal issues are secondary. My biggest issue is informed consent. Children cannot give informed consent. Therefore, any sexual pictures/video are exploitation. That’s not okay.

Just the other day, I was talking with someone about the important difference between morality and legality, but in the case of cp, I think they got it right.

(If you choose to reply, take your time. I’m headed out and won’t be able to answer right away.)
