My thing is that if it is on the internet view whatever you wish in the domain of your own home. Don't do it in public. Now passing out pictures of little children should be illegal and taking random pictures of children should be as well. Posting them on the internet should have penalties. However viewing pre-loaded picture should not be taken into offense. As long as the pictures are not being redistributed I don't see a big problem. Side: Yes.
Anything to do with the sexual abuse of children is particularly disgusting. The possession of such material may be indicative of someone that poses a risk to children. However, I think its difficult to justify putting people in jail for viewing images without any suggestion that they have played a part in its production. Yet in the USA people get locked away for life for possession of that sort of image. Side: Yes.
