Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,People have been using media to talk\Nabout sex for a long time.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Love letters, phone sex, racy polaroids.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's even a story of a girl who eloped\Nwith a man that she met over the telegraph
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in 1886.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Today we have sexting,\Nand I am a sexting expert.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Not an expect sexter.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Though, I do know what this means,\NI think you do too.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I have been studying sexting since \Nthe media attention to it began in 2008.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I wrote a book on the moral\Npanic about sexting.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And here's what I found:
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,most people are worrying\Nabout the wrong thing.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They're trying to just prevent\Nsexting from happening entirely.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But let me ask you this:
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,As long as it's completely consensual,\Nwhat's the problem with sexting?
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,People are into all sorts of things\Nthat you may not be into,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like blue cheese or cilantro.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Sexting is certainly risky,\Nlike anything that's fun,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but as long as you're not sending an image\Nto someone who doesn't want to receive it,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there's no harm.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What I do think is a serious problem is\Nwhen people share private images of others
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,without their permission.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And instead of worrying about sexting,\Nwhat I think we need to do
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is think a lot more about digital privacy.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The key is consent.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Right now most people are thinking
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about sexting without really thinking\Nabout consent at all.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Did you know we currently\Ncriminalize teen sexting?
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It can be a crime because it counts\Nas child pornography,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if there's an image of someone under 18\Nand it doesn't even matter
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if they took that image of themselves\Nand shared it willingly.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we end up with this bizarre legal situation where two 17-year-olds can legally have sex in most U.S. states but they can't photograph it. Some states have also tried passing sexting misdemeanor laws but these laws repeat the same problem because they still make consensual sexting illegal. It doesn't make sense to try to ban all sexting to try to address privacy violations. This is kind of like saying, let's solve the problem of date rape by just making dating completely illegal. Most teens don't get arrested for sexting.
