I think it is a little more grey than you are describing it. The article notes that there was a "points" system among students, for who could collect the "best" nudes. I think that is pretty wrong. I also feel like peer pressure needs to be considered. Do you really think there are no kids at that school who felt pressured into sharing nudes? (I do think that describing it as a "nude-sharing ring" is ridiculous, it makes it sound like they were all doing something nefarious.)
