well interestingly enough, the law isnt as clear as one would think. Take a look at this example:
In 2004, the British press reported that police were investigating Faceparty for allegedly featuring pornographic images of underage girls. It was reported that girls as young as 13 were posting provocative and sometimes sexually explicit images of themselves on the website in return for gifts such as mobile phone top-ups from other users.
Faceparty claimed that they have now banned anyone signing up who lists themselves as under the age of 16. However, UNDER BRITISH LAW NO PERSON UNDER THE AGE OF 18 is permitted to have nude/explicit images or video of themselves produced for distribution whether physically or digitally.
