Honestly, any hosting of images taken of a person without their knowledge, or of images not intended for uploading and uploaded by people who aren't those in the photo, should be illegal in the first place, and treated as any other copyright material. Unless those photos are depictions of some form of illegal activity being used for evidence.

Accidentally uploaded photos, photos of people in public areas, and photos uploaded in the past by people should not fall under this rule IMO. Barring if the public areas photos were secret camera sort of images rather than "I am in this photo someone took, take it down!"

I agree. I also wonder how many of the "gone wild" girls are actually underage, trying to be cool by seeking male attention with explicit photos? I say this because I know it's the kind of thing that friends of mine would have done back in the day, though thank god we didn't have the internet or even digital cameras back then.

We know teens sext. We know they lie about their ages and seek out older dates online. It doesn't take a lot of deduction to figure out that there's likely a LOT of material on Reddit that is legally CP, posted with or without the "consent"/involvement of the subjects.
