In the US, maybe (not sure if this is even true in all states), but not in most other countries in the world, where a 16-year-old is not a child, nudity is not a problem, and "sex offender registries" don't exist.

The US is entitled to make its own (crazy, ridiculous, stupid) laws, but we shouldn't let them impose those on the rest of us.

Yet for the largest part this is where we are ending up. Just look at Facebook and Twitter deciding what is right and wrong. I think that's wrong in a lot of ways but appearantly there is very little the EU and others can do about it.

There is a lot the EU could do if it wanted to, or had any kind of courage. But we are weak and fearful.
