I think you're pretty bent if you're hoping that children were exposed to public porn of any sort.

not to encourage a race to the bottom, but 'being exposed to pornography' is pretty low on the list of risks to youth as far as Iraq is concerned. [0,1,2,3]

No disagreement from me.

Pretty sure that children of any sort deal with it better than people that hate porn for an ideological reason.

> It's ok to show porn to kids, and if you don't want to, you're a bad person.

This is the state of leftism in 2023.

Murdeeing people okay for all ages. Making people is the devils. A sign of a sound mind with decent morals.

> you're hoping that children

Why bring the children in to this?

>The Iraqi government, which is dominated by pro-Iranian parties, has targeted several YouTubers and TikTokers since last year, accusing them of sharing “indecent content” that goes “against morals and traditions”.

>Some of them have been imprisoned, including a young woman who posted videos dancing to pop music.

This was a protest. Protests are supposed to be uncomfortable.

Easy for you to say when you're sitting behind your screen most likely in a Western country. The people of Iraq have suffered for decades at the hands of occupation, constant bombardment, instability, poverty, sanctions, and more. Give them a break. Some of the comments here, like the GP post are quite sickening.

Given that they were exposed, I’m just expressing an opinion about what sort of porn to hope it was.
