Why are we conflating pornography and Wikipedia?

Wikipedia hosts pornography.

Are you referring to educational pictures of human anatomy? There’s quite a difference between that and porn.

No. I mean actual pornography.
For instance, a full copy of Debbie Does Dallas is on its Wikipedia article [NFSW, obviously].

I had the misfortune of talking with a few potheads, and HN's reaction to porn addiction is the same of potheads, denialism, mental gymnastics, and everything but accepting that porn can actually be problematic.
The only reason it doesn't have it's own DSM classification is a mere question of technicality, whatever it is a separate and distinct kind of addiction, or just a manifestation of other types of hyper-sexual disorder.
