I think nobody should be going to prison for looking at or storing any image on their computer. Or reading any book or text as well (some countries prosecute possession of certain written material). Such actions are part of the private sphere, which the state has no business policing, unless you commit some violent crime or are severely insane, for example.
Sending people to prison for that absolutely is a moral panic in my opinion. It is a modern day form of heresy or witch hunt.
