college, quite a few of the cases we heard
were supported by evidence from
Facebook. Some of the cases were held
BECAUSE of the photos on Facebook. In
other words, if it were not for Facebook,
no one would have known these students
had committed any infractions.”

43. "Sexting"
To send nude or racy images,
or sexual messages via cellphones
In Canada, police are considering each case separately.
"Shared pornography between two people is actually
legal as long as there's no one involved who is in a
position of trust or authority," said Detective Sergeant
Kim Scanlan of the Toronto Police Service's child
exploitation section.
"But when it gets shared with others or forwarded, that's
when it becomes a criminal matter." Det. Sgt. Scanlan
