Meridian Magazine just published a story on pornography entitled “Pornography: If it Quacks Like a Duck” about the dangers of pornography. Hopefully, we’ll recognize the dangers of pornography individually and as a society before it’s too late.
In addition to this article, you may want to visit combatingpornography.lds.org for further information and help.
We absolutely need to do something about it. If anyone reading this is currently struggling with pornography, go to a church-sponsored addiction recovery meeting which addresses pornography addiction:

Also, get a copy of the church’s addiction recovery guidebook and start working the 12 steps:

A little proof that pornography has become a beast of astronomical proportions. Back when Comdex was relevant, during the same time when it was held in Las Vegas there was a more seemy version of it running nearby dedicated to the adult internet industry. It was almost as big and the companies there were making almost as much money (sometimes more) than the reputable companies at Comdex.
Also, never kid yourself, the reason the internet bandwidth and technology is where it is today is because of how much it was “pushed” to meet the demands of the pornography industry.
Scary and sad, but true.
