4. This is a complex issue to me

I know that if I was a teenager and on demand porn was available everywhere, it would have completely warped my mind and did permanent damage to my views on sex that I would still be struggling with. As a teenager in the 80s, what I saw on TV and in movies was still very confusing.

This is freedom of expression for adults and needs to be protected, but there has to be a solution that also protects children. A more secure internet that still protects privacy needs to be conceived.

I think there needs to be a movement towards educating parents to be able to better control their children's internet habits. It's ultimately up to parents to make decisions about their own children, but too many don't monitor anything at all.
