Anti-porn bills could force device makers to censor sexual material

The opinion "porn bad" (for children) isn't limited to conservatives or religious people.

Here's what Unicef says:

> Pornographic content can harm children. Exposure to pornography at a young age may lead to poor mental health, sexism and objectification, sexual violence, and other negative outcomes. ...

> UNICEF is alarmed by the massive quantity of pornography available online, including increasingly graphic and extreme content that is easily accessible to children of all ages. Efforts to regulate content and restrict children’s access to pornography have not kept pace with technological shifts that have profoundly altered the landscape for the consumption of pornography.

OP didn't say "porn bad for children". They said "porn bad".

I was responding to deserialized, who cited examples like public libraries where books are available to children.

(At least I'm not aware of any public libraries with adult-only sections.)

And in the context of the overall discussion of a bill attempting to restrict specifically children's (not adults') access to porn.

What porn have you been reading at the public library champ?

What a silly question to come back and ask two days later.

But since you asked, I'll respond. I have my own computer and internet connection, so I don't watch anything at the library. But it's not unheard of for homeless people to watch porn at the library.

I wonder how we determined that porn is bad for children. Were there any studies done on the subject? What would I need to google for to find them?

What's lacking here is any sort of definition for 'porn', just another 'porn bad' regurgitation
