Comment on Almost the entire US South is now being blocked by Pornhub
WantsToPetYourKitty@lemmy.world 3 days agoWhile it’s probably true that there are people who might struggle with porn, there are plenty of people who struggle with addictions of all kinds - alcohol, gambling, opiates, etc.
But there are certainly valid questions that come up with stuff like this:
- Is the government’s place to enforce a mandatory 18yr age requirement to view porn?
- If so, what kinds of unintended ramifications are possible from imposing such a requirement? I can think of quite a few, but I’m curious what others think.
- Could it be argued that this is an attempt to legislate morality or impose censorship?
I think that these are fair questions and perhaps the meat and potatoes of the issue lies a bit deeper than anyone’s sole opinion on whether porn is “bad for you” or not.

I wholeheartedly agree with you. I did not say whether it should be banned or made difficult to find - I was pointing out the evidence that is out there that it is a problem for some people.

It is so much easier to have nuanced discussions on Lemmy. You are correct I realize now you were just responding to poster above you
