I showed that as high as 50% of children between 12 and 25 are being affected to the point of dysfunction and addiction.

That sounds like a decidedly dodgy statistic - 'as high as', children at 25?, 'to the point of'
​
Where did it come from?

That stat is in the first link.
​
I don't think so, that link is about this study
​
Page not found - Your Brain On Porn
​
Which is a study of 19 adults with an average age of 25.

That is what I have in statistics.
​
But that's nothing like this
​
I showed that as high as 50% of children between 12 and 25 are being affected to the point of dysfunction and addiction
​
And this
​
I did watch a few programs and some are calling it an epidemic
​
'Some' would, but that's not particularly useful. I've no doubt that a lot of kids watch porn but I'd like to know more before calling it a highly damaging epidemic

You have access to the greatest education tool yet devised just as I do.
​
But it's you that is making the claims - which at the seems both hyperbolic and non-scientific - and are willing to censor the internet on the basis of them.
​
I'm prepared to be convinced that this may be causing harm, but it's up to you to convince me - and us.
