What’s the rationale for this? Is kids even looking up porn an issue anyone cares about? If you’re old enough to search for porn (I had my first foray into porn at 11 or 12), you’re probably old enough to watch it right? Maybe girls look it up a latter, but boys start getting curious on the cusp of puberty.
- DanBC 8y agoThe rationale (and I'm not saying I agree with this) is that pornography now is different: it is pervasive; it's easily available; and it's far more extreme than it used to be. There's reasonably good evidence that this has changed sexual habits in young people. There's also reasonably good evidence that people are reporting worse experiences of first sexual encounters than in the past, because of the expectations that porn creates in young people. The industry has had years, over a decade, to self regulate and they chose not to do so, so it's not surprising a right-wing government is implementing an age-wall.
