If there is a case to be made for regulating porn, this article doesn't make it. The "Cambridge University study" at the heart of the article is described as showing that "porn’s effects on the brain are neurochemically identical to drug addiction". Actually, it shows nothing of the sort for most people. It shows a reward effect for people who self-identified(?) as exhibiting compulsive sexual behaviour, which is "excessive or problematic engagement in sex". Importantly, it didn't identify a growing trend, didn't correlate watching porn with the development of compulsive sexual behaviour, and so on. No amount of saying things like "porn isn't content, it's a substance" will change that. Compulsive sexual behaviour is literally defined as problematic, but it's not obvious, and this article certainly doesn't make the point, that porn causes or exacerbates compulsive sexual behaviour.
