What the petition asks
We call for the Government to ban online pornography and the making and selling of pornography. We believe this would help many young men and prevent future generations from becoming addicted to pornography. We believe it has no benefit to society and must be banned.
We believe pornography is a massive issue affecting young men. Millions of people across the world watch. We believe it can damage mental health and contribute to loneliness, and lead to increased sexual violence.
