Say what you will about modern parenting, handing the reins to the government is guaranteed to be worse. The effect of porn is still not fully understood, and is the subject of much study (and conjecture). Findings from those studies are far from conclusive, and certainly not to a degree that would warrant this level of government intervention. Make no mistake, these new proposed rules are a “moral” stance to please a certain demographic, not a stance based on good science or understanding of the topic. You might find it interesting to read about the history of sexual violence in the world. Violence that still exists, yes, but some would argue that porn has provided an outlet where one can explore fantasies safely. You claim without evidence that right wing incels exist because of porn - a dubious claim at best. You claim without evidence (or understanding of the underlying psychology) that trans people only exist because of porn - this is where the argument becomes preposterous.
