Prohibition did not create the criminal empires. Demand for the product did.
"Censorship is about ideas."
I am not advocating censorship of any ideas. Just items that produce addiction in our youth.
You may not think that those horrendous stats and effects on our young are not worthy of note but I do.

Wrong. There's a demand for water, isn't there? Prohibit water and you can bet your bottom dollar that criminal empires will rise to meet the demand. Prohibit porn and it goes underground where the criminal element can exploit women to a much greater degree.

Your "rise to meet demand" makes my case.
"One more time, I'm talking about the lesser of two evils. Censorship is worse than whatever harm you think is associated with porn."
Porn has little evil in terms of the children and young adults we are talking about.
Internet porn, thanks to it's addictive properties holds a lot of harm.
Many are saying that just the internet and cell phones are doing damage to society. My wife certainly does and she, rightfully, is quick to tell anyone at our table to turn them off.

Prohibition did not create the demand. It was already there and that demand is what created the black market.
As to a little addiction.

Tell me, just how much addiction is too much when it is our children that we are talking about.
Even with no addiction, follow the last link in the O.P. and tell me what you would say to the 14 year olds that that link speaks of.
