How do you determine the appropriateness of nude photos of kids?

Do you consider the above pornographic content with explicitly sexual content of a minor?

I think they are gorgeous, cute photos and not in any way offensive. However, there are a whole lot of weirdos out there and if they were my kids I would choose a more discreet way of showing my friends. Facebook and Instagram, however many privacy setting we may have, are far too public for images like these to be shared.

I've been unlucky enough to stumble across some perverted facebook pages with kiddy photos stolen from other peoples pages. Generally each photo on its own wouldnt make you think there was anything sexual about them, but when you get a bunch of them altogether it puts a different slant on them.

I dont understand why people put photos like that of their kids out there publicly, its not that hard to make your facebook private.

oh, just read the article, I see her setting were private and one of her friends was offended and reported her....what a twit!

Gawd...........that reminds me.....

My folks had a baseball team party at the house in Geelong when I was about 5 or 6.  I was taking a bath at the time, and my father pulled the curtain invited all and sundry to gaze upon my soapy body..........

Gorgeous pics but you have to be so careful with what you put out there in the internet. There are so many sickos out there and I think that you need to think hard before posting any pics of kids anywhere on the net. Nothing on the net is ever 100% private.

So from what I'm hearing. It is correct to banned those images because these images ARE potentially of sexual nature and explicit to certain groups of people out there.

No, I didn't say anything about banning anything. I said what I would choose for my family.
I'm not about to tell anyone else what they should or can do.

It's ridiculous.

Australians are becoming more prudish every year. Add to that the high morals imposed on us by American social media and we are losing more than just a bit of clothes.

Those photos are fine to be published publicly.
