Lots of people on here claiming vague "porn does damage" hysteria. Curiously, not one mention of what the damage actually is though. This leads me to believe it's pure nonsense born out of some religious delusion. Maybe not though so in all seriousness:
* What is the damage? (not yet another "it's harmful" sentance, I'm literally asking for details to learn what you mean, if anything).
* What is "widespread"? Presumably this can be presented in terms of % of population or other actual data shaped way.
* What is the "addiction" boogeyman in this context? What are the dreadful consequences you hint at? (again, please don't just bring the vague bullshit about "its addicting, lots of companies make money from it" - actual data is my request)
* What are the actual studies backing whatever articles you got your information from - do they even exist? Were they put out by some religious think-tank or by people who do science?
I'm going way out on a limb here, trying to assume you all are making good-faith claims rather than faith-based wishes. Currently I really suspect this is more motivated by a cult that has old dudes interrogate children about their genitals grasping at control over those genitalia than any reasonable problem solving.
