“It felt like my stomach was rotting from the inside out.”
That is how Joseph, a 12-year-old boy described his reaction to viewing pornography on the Internet....and eventually became an addiction he could not hide.71% of kids weren’t seeking out porn when they saw it. Not Ok #
"When I got my first laptop, my mom would wonder why I was so tired. I would stay up 3 to 4 a.m. viewing pornography, get a few hours of sleep, go to school, come home and watch more porn through the night," he said. "A boy under 10 (22% of <10year olds watch porn) #pornharmskids

eChildhood Executive Director, Tamara Newlands, raises concerns about the Wiggles on TikTok. Tamara says people don’t realise that pornography is also “rife on TikTok.” It allows strangers to direct message young children and share inappropriate content. https://t.co/wYAyIXtmb6

UK tech companies and children's charities are demanding the UK Govt. take action with AV. Rightly so. There should be no excuses for governments to not do everything they can to protect children from the harms of online pornography. @CommsAu https://t.co/hFmbMm9xkN
Great to see @eSafetyOffice support for Age Verification. With 24/7 access to hardcore and most often violent content, a robust public health response is required.
There’s no question that kid’s exposure to extreme porn online needs to be addressed. The Age Verification Inquiry will be canvassing a range of proposals later this week. If 🇦🇺 does take on AV leadership of this “brave social experiment” multiple interventions need 2B considered
