Or teen sexting, you know. Child pornography production is a serious offence.
Two 15 year olds sexting is mutual pornography production in the US?
Wait a minute, "thought to be worth $800m"? Is that "m" for "million" and that dollar sign for "dollars"? Has the whole world gone crazy?
Do you remember when we thought that Twitter was a stupid idea? When "I'll publish pictures of my food" was not worth a billion dollars?
The idea of drawing something with someone else alone was valued at 180 million. Think about it.

Obviously that doesn't make sense, but neither does any valuation in tech right now.

As soon as the image is sent though, most legislatures consider that pornographic distribution. Here in the UK for instance you could at least be prosecuted under the Obscene Publications Act.
Having such a picture of someone else is also against the letter of the relevant laws even if the subject of the image sent it to you.
Like laws covering the age of consent for explicit sexual activity (which varies between 14 and 21 depending on where you are and sometimes depending on your gender and orientation) it gets more complicated if an image crosses state borders (sender and recipient being in different states/countries). Generally speaking you would find yourself judged against the strictest of the laws involved, not the most lenient, where there is variation.
Yep, society cooperates with law enforcement. It's been that way for about six or seven thousand years. In this case it was in response to search warrants. If you're not outraged, you've been paying enough attention.
People have been disappointed with the seeming death of this dream, and very recent revelations have exposed just how much that dream failed to be achieved. And very vocal, as one would expect from a league of very frustrated dreamers.

> I'm not finding much sympathy for users of a system built on the premise that they should not have access to data on their own device One of the more out-of-touch HN comments I've seen in a while. And that's saying a lot! Look at it this way: the person sending the snapchat owns the "data", and is just granting the recipient permission to watch it for ~10 seconds.
To the surprise of no one, this isn't possible and Snapchat has already been cracked: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-24533919

It has, a long time ago. Do you remember when we thought that Twitter was a stupid idea? When "I'll publish pictures of my food" was not worth a billion dollars? The idea of drawing something with someone else alone was valued at 180 million. Think about it.
