    …dangerous online material is perpetuating the growing epidemic of violence against women and girls…

    Serious question because I actually don’t know the answer, but is there a proven link between this kind of content and real violence? I would hope a person would know that strangling people is not okay and there’s such things as safe words/actions, but I’ve expected too much of society in the past.

      There’s a few research papers showing a link. I’m a domestic abuse outreach worker and lots of perps are heavy porn users and have strange sexual practices… obviously it’s not as simple as “watch porn, become violent”
