Social media is incredibly sexualized too.

  I'm more concerned about this than porn. I think everyone at least kind-of knows what porn isn't real, just as people know video games aren't real, or movies. Not saying these things can't affect people in various ways (which can be both positive and negative), but social media is presented as if it's real but it's often not, and the effects of this seem much worse.

    10 year olds don’t know that porn isn’t real. I’m pretty sure seeing the stuff I did when I was 10 had a massively negative impact. I’m pretty sure it scarred me in some fashion. I’m fine now, but it really did a number on me seeing some of that stuff way before I should have. That said, I don’t support the government limiting the internet in any way. That’s the parent’s job.

      I sought out, and saw, hardcore porn (magazines) when I was 10. I don't think it had a negative impact on me at all. I was curious and I satisfied my curiosity. I continue to satisfy my curiosity, lol.

  > Social media is incredibly sexualized too. In no small part because social media is an advertising medium for porn.
