UK research into this is staggering though - children as young as 8 already report having seen porn, and learn behaviours from it. I also support the need for full, open, completely honest and comprehensive sex education, but there's a reason why even the most liberal programs in the world don't teach 8 year olds explicitly about sex other than mentioning it very broadly - 8 year olds are not ready to learn about all the details yet(this is an opinion of child psychologists, not my own), but obviously with porn you sidestep all of it, kids don't even get the chance to learn properly.

Part of it is obviously the fault of parents - a lot of whom are completely incompetent and who probably shouldn't use any electronic devices themselves, much less give them to children. But the sheer prevelance of porn is also a problem.

I don't know what the solution to this is. Definitely not what the government is suggesting, that's for sure.

It's important to clarify why you think this standard applies to the things I've mentioned, but not to porn. There's some decision-making going on that isn't apparent.

I think porn is underblown, so it seems like we're at a bit of an impasse.
