Apparently, Germany is looking to punish people posting child porn photos (who aren't "pedophiles") less harshly. I guess they mean someone acting without sexual intent (i.e. for "shock"), or teens sexting with each other.

There was a certain amount of discourse about how the German Police (or as they might call it, polizei) was wasting time chasing teens sexting with each other. Honestly, I think it'd be best for the police to not get involved at all in those cases. Also, with some of these cases, you have to wonder if it's "exploitation" per se, or if someone hasn't tripped over a legal technicality (I still remember that "medical photo" case with Google).

While they're at it, they should strive to protect freedom of expression more strongly.
