Whether it be social media use or access to pornography, are there valid studies that have looked into this? I feel like I’ve only seen anecdotes, or “inappropriate for children”, but no evidence, studies, or journals to support this claim.

    I’m generally opposed to strict verification. To me the only thing that could justify it is a repeatable study that shows causation between something that the verification would restrict and a negative (not moral panic negative) outcome. Whenever its brought up the “think of the children” comments come out and I am skeptical. It often sounds like video games cause violence excuses. I wanted to know if there was actual justification because to me it seems like they are usually pushed by either religious groups or some group that wants to hoover up data. I have yet to see something beyond moral panic justifying the push.
