Is it ever clear "that the depicted person agrees to the depiction"?
Perhaps they did agree to the depiction but not to its public posting?
Conversely, perhaps those who aren't facing and smiling at the camera
agreed to the shot before/after it was taken?

I tend to agree with David - there is no reason to treat sexual
content differently from any other. A "harmless" photo taken at a
political rally could well do more "harm"...
