Isn't the synchronised effort suspect to you? Porn is arguably as damaging and addictive as social media. How do you explain the inaction regarding child acces

  > Isn't the synchronised effort suspect to you? People bring this up, but these efforts aren't very fast and they cause a lot of noise, and social media has been terrible for people and children for a while now so... If I'm a politician and I hear of someone proposing something about it elsewhere, I'm going to do it too. If it works out, there's a race to claim credit; if it fizzles out, no harm for being the one to bring a fizzly bill; if it ends up terrible, you still get name recognition, so it's not so bad. > How do you explain the inaction regarding child access to porn in the last 25 years? Legislative bodies have tried lots of things in the last 25 years, just nothing terribly effective.

  The brainrotting effects of social media are increasingly being recognized. The effects of porn are not as noticeable in schools and workplaces.

  > Porn is arguably as damaging and addictive as social media I haven’t seen evidence for this. Which is why I’ve personally pushed for social media bans on under-14s and restrictions on under-18s. But have not particularly cared to agitate similarly for any restrictions on porn.
