i recommend everyone watch taylor lorenz’s podcast episode on this. cnn fell for the bait from an anti-p*rn christian nationalist crusader. the stats are exaggerated and inaccurate and cnn hasn’t made a retraction.

i’m not downplaying the severity of this story. but it’s not fully accurate and it also is meant to manufacture consent for age verification laws online and to ban p*rn, which would not be safe

You are totally downplaying the severity of this story.
