Rising Concern: How Young Kids Are Encountering Pornography Today

Rising Concern: How Young Kids Are Encountering Pornography Today highlights alarming data from a Common Sense Media study showing 15% of children under 10 have viewed pornography. The speaker argues that early smartphone distribution directly triggers this exposure, noting the average age of first encounter is now significantly below 11 years old. This trend underscores an urgent need for stricter digital safeguards as minors face unprecedented access to explicit content at increasingly younger ages. [Automatically generated summary]

Time Text
One study in Jakarta said that of the fourth to sixth graders that they were able to talk to, 97% of them had seen pornography.
When you look at Common Sense Media's study, they say 15% of kids under 10 had seen pornography.
I think whenever you give a child a device, like a smartphone, pretty much that's when they're going to start seeing porn.
And kids are getting these devices younger and younger.
And I believe that the average age is much younger than 11.
