verdict against a pornography content producer who coerced women and children into producing sexual content. Another 34 women, some of whom are victims of child sex trafficking, filed a lawsuit against a pornographic website for failing to take proper precautions to verify the content uploaded to its platform and monetizing the illegal content. (14) The internet has revolutionized the pornography industry, making pornographic content incomparably more available, accessible, affordable, and anonymous than at any previous time in the history of the United States. Today, substantial majorities of teenagers have viewed pornography. A United States population-based probability study found that 84 percent of males and 57 percent of females between the ages of 14 and 18 have viewed pornography, belying the industry’s faux status as so-called adult entertainment . Moreover, pornography has contributed to the normalization of sexual violence among the youth of the United States. Numerous studies have demonstrated that viewing pornography harms youth, as it contributes to sexually violent attitudes and conduct towards children and adults and creates unrealistic expectations for intimate relationships. Additionally, research has demonstrated that the demand for online pornography has fueled an increase in purchasing sex from prostituted or sex trafficked individuals. (15) The online pornography industry has remained unchecked and generally immune from regulations. Online creators and distributors of pornographic content should be held to standards that require informed and thorough consent as well as age-verification. Currently, no substantive laws govern consent in pornography, which has permitted rampant abuses to occur. (16) Companies should not profit from the sexual exploitation of children and adults. Requiring pornographic websites to verify the age, consent, and identity of individuals appearing in pornographic content on their platforms would substantially curb the rampant exploitation of all children and adults
