If you at all think that people can be addicted to social media, you could draw a correlation from this to porn addiction.
I know a lot of you either don’t think porn can be addictive and/or don’t think it can have negative effects on society.
Ask yourselves why the logic works for social media but not porn.
EDIT: I’m gonna have to do an experiment and see if I get more downvotes for saying negative things about porn or positive things about Israel. Unfortunately I think it’d be pretty close.
So alcohol and tobacco should be entirely banned as well? We should start with these, they're way worse
I’m all good, thanks
To be clear: yes it has some impacts, but I believe the majority of problems could be avoided if the parents did their job and told them that it wasn’t like that in real life. The impacts are in most cases not as extreme as other addictions by a large margin.
Asking for identity like this isn’t fine as we all know porn isn’t really well accepted by everyone, including employers, so having a data leak or just having our preferences linked to our identity doesn’t make us confortable.
People will always be able to go around and find porn every way, and I bet people that ended up on porn either searched for it, or went to a shady website you can’t regulate anyway, or went to some social media where some asshole posted explicit photos, which imo is the most likely.
