Enough is enough.

Once again, an "NGO" produces a report suggesting that young people are harmed by "sexual content", and correctly pointing out that access to a service entails some exposure to said content. Irish media then whinge about how this global NGO is pissed UK laws might not have worldwide implications.

Strangely, there is never any evidence of "sexual harm", let alone probable cause and effect, because it simply doesn't exist

This is clear pandering in political affairs. These NGOs are political mouthpieces for big government.

All such organizations must now be declared political entities and in breach of their charitable obligations. Let's see justice for young people against the nanny state and its "benevolent" proxies.
