Supreme Court's ruling practically wipes out free speech for sex writing online

We've had kids accessing an Internet without any working age barriers for over 30 years now.

There have been problems, be that grooming, Facebook parties and maybe addiction to TikTok.

But being able to access adult content be that sexual or violent in nature doesn't really seem to have had much negative consequences.

Sure I wouldn't want my 10 year old to see 2 girls 1 cup - but I reckon it wouldn't be the end of the world if he did.

It's good that we have content recommendations. But we shouldn't try to actually enforce them.

Again: with all the options kids have had for accessing porn online in the last couple of decades, if it was actually THAT bad, we'd be having an epidemic. Yet we don't. The kids are alright

So, you're saying that children/adults nowadays are not negatively affected by early sexual exposure?

These are some of the negative effects, what early sexual exposure can cause:

- unrealistic or harmful beliefs about sex, intimacy, and gender roles

- sex disconnected from intimacy, respect, consent

- anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, body image issues

- broken families (one parent missing), divorce

- problems with emotional regulation, impulse control

- attention control problems, aggression, withdrawal

I say, all of these are on the rise and are a big problem.

Wait until you hear what issues the ubiquitous dihydrogen monoxide can cause! https://web.archive.org/web/19961031232918/http://media.circ...

These points would greatly benefit from being put into perspective

You can't seriously think a significant percentage of people are emotionally unstable because they looked up porn of their own will at an age of their own choosing, even if I trust that it can be listed as a contributing factor for some infinitesimal fraction of those with that issue

You can’t be serious thinking it has NO bad effect on people, especially children.

Would you let your own children watch porn?
