Nudity is not covered under 2257 rules. Unless rating and dating sites are posting hardcore, they probably won't fall under the rule. It's always a debate about what is covered by the law.

Even if their users are posting harder pics, there has also been debate about whether sites that allow users to post their own pictures will fall under the law. For example, AOL chatrooms are probably not going to open AOL up to 2257 rules. Does that mean that dating site chatrooms will be covered? What about dating site profiles? Who knows?

As usual with the adult industry, the rules will be written during prosecutions. Who wants to volunteer for that?
