A lawmaker in Utah says the damage internet pornography can cause means people should be able to sue pornography companies.
"To pretend that this is not having any impact on our youth, on children's minds as they're developing, as their attitudes towards sex and the opposite sex are being formed, I think is foolish," Utah State Sen. Todd Weiler said, according to the Utah news site KSL.com.
Weiler has proposed to allow lawsuits against companies that put pornography on the internet. He especially aims to aid underage children and teens who become addicted to pornography.
He compared the proposal to the 70 years of legal action taken against tobacco companies.
