  4. If your worldview swings towards the libertarian side, you recognise that things are going to happen whether you like them or not. So you work towards minimising the harm those actions take. In this case, you recognise that "sexting" is going to happen whether regardless of your opinion, so you'd advocate things that the individuals concerned can do to protect themselves. If you swing towards the authoritarian side, you go "omg think of the children", as if you have any say in the matter, and stomp down on anything that could 'help' young people harm themselves. Thus letting young people harm themselves. But, hey, at least -your- purity is intact, right?
