The French government’s drive to prevent children from accessing pornographic content online is well-documented. Few disagree that widely available and openly accessible ‘tube’ sites are unsuitable for minors, but in a world where parental responsibility is considered old-fashioned, not to mention ineffective, France believes that legislation is the only way to protect the country’s children.

Don't know how to feel about this. On one hand, it's for a good cause, exposure to porn at a young age can have some pretty devastating consequences later on. The way they're going about it though, that doesn't sound too good.

I'm asking this in good faith: what are the "devastating consequences" of watching porn, in your opinion?

Too young; Unrealistic expectations, stunted emotional growth, disfigured view of women, and generally developing worse fetishes. This is all anecdotal and/or personal experience however.

Overall however i think the porn industry should be abolished, no one should have to do any of this for money, and it objectifies the people involved way too much.

Cool username btw :)
