> "porn teens" returns plenty of results, and I doubt that they are all teens who are legally old enough.

Because they hire people who are 18 or 19 who look younger.

While I can't dig up an article about it, there was a guy in Florida who was brought to trial on child pornography charges. Some "expert" insisted the girl couldn't possibly be 18. The woman had to fly over and testify that she was 18 at the time.

Lupe Fuentes:

> In 2009, federal agents arrested a man in Puerto Rico on suspicion of possessing child pornography that included Fuentes. At trial, a pediatrician testified that Lupe was underage based on her appearance. Lawyers for the defense subpoenaed her to show her passport, proving that she was 19 years old at the time of filming.

I see I got the location wrong. Thanks.

I have ran into this stuff on accident before. Try something like "family nude".

Weird thing about “teen porn”: When I was a teen what do you think I wanted to look at? Is that wrong?

probably not morally wrong to search for it if you're that age, but it's certainly wrong to produce and distribute it.

Is it wrong to produce and distribute porn of people 18 and 19 years old? Legally this is okay in the United States.

Teen porn is certainly fine, and I believe you'd be hard pressed to make the case that Bing's results for "teen porn" are illegal [1]... porn companies specifically hire of-age performers that look young, then further dress them up (hair, makeup, outfit) to look even younger. Nothing illegal about that, and I don't see anything morally wrong with people choosing to watch porn with people that look closer to their own age.

[1]: I haven't actually done the search myself, for obvious reasons.

> The search given at the start of the article, "porn kids", now returns that they have nothing matching. Unlike other two word searches, where if it doesn't find something matching both words, it looks for similar things, "porn kids" is a flat out statement that it has nothing, suggesting that they explicitly special cased it.

Doesn't really surprise me. I can just imagine the manager demanding that the child porn searches stop immediately and this makes the most sense for a rapid solution. The question is now though how well did they guard it. I'm not going to experiment though, those kinds of could probably land me in jail here.

This is what I was going to say. If I was an admin that's what I would've done. I'm actually surprised they hadn't already taken any steps to prevent this kind of fallout.

As for the latter point, ditto. However, I would also avoid searching that kind of stuff simply because I don't want to have such a gruesome image in my head.

note that in porn, "teen" refers to anyone young, and can be found on any major porn website referring to of-legal-age women.

Yea, most sites advertise people specifically who are 18 ~ 20 in that genre.
