Indeed, Sue, never suggested anything different, just the scale of the problem is getting out of hand and we should be looking at other ways of dealing to it. The problem with widespread viewing of pornography was not a problem before the internet. So it's the internet system that needs to be reviewed. monitored and controlled. To some men, more perhaps that many women perhaps understand, pornography is highly addictive, and child abuse imagery is equally so, perhaps even more so because users know it is illegal and ordinary (legal) porn becomes less stimulating, there's the extra excitement of illicit activity. The "market" thrives in this regard with the availability of the material, not with the demand, it's almost the reverse of classical economic theory, much like drug addiction or gambling - provide the outlets and the demand is fuelled and rises. That's the nature of addictive behaviour. Just some general thoughts around the matter, as there has to be some reason why the problem is now so rampant.
