"for every study maligning porn, another clears its name"
That is because it is (or was) subject to the scientific bandwagon effect where someone felt compelled to look for all kinds of "links" to "bad things".

And then, someone else has to come in with a better methodology to correct that.

Apparently, there is an upcoming paper which goes into how antagonistic narcissists might blame the problems in their lives on porn (rather than taking responsibility for being jerks to their partners).

So, that's going to be an interesting read.

Study shows that on average, the citizens of 72 countries have gotten a small improvement in their well-being from using Facebook.

This calls into question the idea that Facebook might cause widespread psychological issues.

The silly debunked ED claim about online porn made a cameo (not on the fedi though)...

This study yet again shows how that is not the case (and points to a review which showed that is not the case).

There are so many things someone could blame problems in modern society on but I guess we gotta bust out the ol' online porn, violent video games, and other debunked theories.

Noting that it's not just "sex education" in schools which can be pretty bad but that parents might not be interested in talking about that.

Hmm? So, a "conservative think tank" has a poll which indicates the majority of people are in support of "age verification"?

Have they considered selection bias and framing?
