Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but these laws repeat the same problem

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because only 33% of 16 and\N17-year-olds are sexting.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But, sorry, by the time they're older,\Nodds are they will be sexting.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Every study I've seen puts the rate\Nabove 50% for 18 to 24-year-olds.

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Here's how I think about it:

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So instead of criminalizing sexting to try\Nto prevent these privacy violations,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,instead we need to make consent central

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And these fears about technology,\Nthey make sense because technologies

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But there are solutions.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we've been here before\Nwith a dangerous new technology.
