View source for NICEF report says pornography is not always harmful to children

A UN agency is again immersed in controversy for a recent report suggesting there is no conclusive evidence that children exposed to pornography are harmed. The report published by the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) addresses how government policy can be used to protect children from harmful, abusive and violent content online.  Its conclusion is based on a European study of 19 EU countries that found in most countries, most children who saw pornographic images were "neither upset nor happy." In fact, the report UNICEF relies on says that 39 percent of Spanish children were happy after seeing pornography. [...]<br>

The 2020 EU Kids Online Study concluded that some children and young people "intentionally seek out sexual content" for a variety of reasons and that seeing sexual images "might also represent an opportunity" to provide answers to questions about puberty and sexual identity. The study encouraged "seeing the nuances" which lead children to seek out and view sexual content online. UNICEF says any efforts to block children from accessing pornography online might infringe on their human rights. UNICEF bases this claim on an expansive interpretation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.<br>
