Probably couldn't have picked a better thumbnail to support their bill though...
My problem with these efforts is that they never want to actually address the real problem, because the economy is addicted to exploiting real children for profit. They always go after the porn problem, but never the exploitation problem. Yes, computers and the Internet have done unimaginable damage to our youth, but it is absolutely not restricted to sexuality at all. I imagine they focus on porn because certain types of people become so irate when the concept is brought up that they cease being capable of parsing anything else related to the situation.
If you actually cared about real children, maybe consider addressing how the Internet is becoming increasingly tailored to facilitating real girls becoming sex workers. Porn is bad for people, I get it, but there are a million issues right now which are far more directly harmful to actual children.
