You're not really addressing their point. Some people believe that drugs are "inherently harmful", but an outright ban or "war on drugs" made the problem worse.

You're not really addressing their point. Some people believe that drugs are "inherently harmful", but an outright ban or "war on drugs" made the problem worse. It pushed drugs to the unregulated black market.
The same would happen if you were to ban porn. Demand would still be there, people would just be forced to go onto the unregulated black market to satisfy their demands. Meaning it would make the situation much worse.
If porn were to remain legal than the government can resolve these issues by proposing regulation to mitigate the abuses.
- haram_masala 6y agoPlease read my post a bit more carefully. I’m addressing the “acceptable” part, not the legality.
- drew-y 6y agoAgain, his point that making porn more "acceptable" means that people and our government will start having open conversations about it. This means making clear rules that both acknowledge the right of these sites to exist while also ensuring actors are treated fairly. Sticking your head in the sand like we have been doing has helped no one.
