Democrat Andrew Yang recently tweeted about something that most national politicians have avoided for years: pornography.
As a parent of young kids I believe rampant access to pornography is a real problem. We need to empower families to be able to moderate what our kids see and when.
— Andrew Yang (@AndrewYang) September 20, 2019
Yang is right, despite the protestations of a thousand pornography consumers in his replies.
Just because neither party has touched this issue on a national level in decades, and civil libertarians have a stranglehold on the debate, doesn’t make him any less right. In those decades that national politicians have ignored pornography, the internet pornography industry has grown to tens of billions of dollars, the average age of hardcore pornography exposure in the United States has plummeted, and tens of thousands of young people express serious concerns about pornography addiction.
