Today's consumption of internet pornography can harm women in particular; title: Finding 4. Today's consumption of internet pornography can harm children in particular; title: Finding 5. Today's consumption of internet pornography can harm people not immediately connected to consumers of pornography; title: Finding 6. The consumption of internet pornography can harm its consumers; title: Finding 7. Pornography consumption is philosophically and morally problematic; title: Finding 8.
