    Your statement "Some will get legal on you." is bogus. Gmail is free and, if you bothered to read the ToS, Google is not liable for shit, in fact YOU agree to indemnify THEM and, because it's FREE, what do you propose to list a "damages?"

    No need for that.

    For each account with any supplier, charge a very small fee.

    That would knock down the big spammers. For hijacked computers, the fee would motivate ISP to track down large abusers.

    I apologize for my American-centric view, but my world view is bounded by it.

    Moral points of view are, necessarily, outside the legal system and are within the scope of faith.

    For me, viewing nude pictures of children, whether the source is from immature minors or mature adults, is not so much a matter of ethics violation as it is viewing evidence of a crime.

    Again,

    "Though their laws were created to protect minors from exploitation caused by others, states are prosecuting minors under child pornography statutes for sending nude or otherwise lurid self-portraits, even when the minors sent the selfies without coercion. The common quirk in the laws is that there is no exception for taking or distributing sexually explicit pictures of oneself. Thus, a high school student sending a racy seflie to a boyfriend or girlfriend could subject both themselves and the receiver to prosecution for child pornography. If the picture makes its way around other social circles through online or direct sharing, anyone who received or distributed the photo could also find themselves open to charges."

    Good question:

    Some of the photos were taken by minors. Kids often use poor judgement.

    Adults looking for those photos have no excuse.

    Assuming you're not a jerk looking to exploit children, then it's clear you want adult pornography.

    Try Google.
