Explicit Content: Pornography and Underage Access

As 97% of teens spend most of their time online, there is a dark layer to many of the social media platforms and sites they find themselves on.
A recent study by the City University of London found that almost two-thirds of 16-17 year-olds had seen sexually explicit content on messaging and social networking apps, not to mention online games.
In November 2021, Canadian Senator Julie Miville-Dechêne presented a new bill that would restrict online access to sexually explicit material to young people under 18, proposing sites institute age verification technology to add a safeguard to easy access.
Is proposed legislation enough to protect young eyes from sexually explicit material? What safeguards should be in place?
Context guests include Chris McKenna, founder of Protect Young Eyes, a team helping parents, and educators to create safer digital spaces for children and teens. We also hear from a recovering porn addict who shares his story of the effect porn had on his life.

Thanks for looking at these bigger more complex issues. It is very noble to try and pass this off to the Government or Church to implement better policies however there is a much deeper problem here about how we as adults live. We have ritualised religion between shopping and surfing. For most, God is simply "what we do" like washing and ironing. If we choose to live authentically and take responsibilities for our minds and actions, our kids would be better served. We need to start looking at ourselves instead of passing blame to others. This is a much bigger issue than simply demonizing porn. Instead of apathy, we should be able to make change instead of complaining that the Government isn't doing enough. History teaches us that changes in society don't come with the idea it is someone elses problem, it takes visionary mentally healthy people who can trust God to achieve.
