A friend posted something about folks using pics to try to blackmail people online.
She was mainly aiming at the Littles community, but it applies to many of us here. If you aren't willing to post the pic publicly, you might not want to send it to someone you don't know really well.
Also, a warning for the under 18 folks. Sending nude pics to someone can get *you* busted for producing and distributing child pornography. It's happened to teens in several states.
And by busted, I don't mean merely charged, but *convicted*.
As I recall, under federal law it only takes possession of *three* (might be five, but I think it's three) mages or videos to count as possession with intent to distribute.
And even if they are pics of yourself, that's still "producing".
Yes, given the purported reason for the child porn laws, going after a teenager (especially one 16 or 17) for pics of themselves that they made of their own free will is *insane*.
But then again calling it "child" pornography was just a dodge to get it passed anyway.
So, lets be careful out there.
