A 14-year-old boy in Britain has been put on a "dangerous to children" list for sending a nude photo of himself to a girl the same age.

"Inappropriate" is a keyword for "We want to punish you for this even though we can't point at anything in it that did wrong to someone."

It is true that sending someone a nude photo of yourself can have bad consequences. There are inherent bad consequences: for instance, the person you sent it to might resent receiving it. I wouldn't risk sending a nude photo of me to a woman unless I knew positively that she would take it favorably — and I'd have to look somewhat more attractive than I actually do.

But there are also artificial consequences, like being put on the list.
