Because they are sent from minors to minors too?

This could be different depending on the country, but in Germany that would still be illegal. I don’t think a rule like you suggest would ever happen if not forced by law

I haven't heard of that law be strictly enforced tho. For one reason - teens are stupid and don't know laws, even though they fall under them. But yeah, most civilized places have laws against production of minor porn that doesn't specify age, but can walk around the problem if it's produced by a consenting party, of themselves, and without a big age difference.

The "problem" here (if you think so) is that if law enforcement in Germany gets to know about a case like this, they cannot choose themselves not to act on it.
