It is going to be interesting to see whether the latest court case has any impact on things here. Will porn addiction be treated more seriously now?

We already have gaming addiction recognised as a real thing. Social media being treated as a cause of addiction, making the tech firms liable, could open up more avenues for people harmed by tech, such as kik for example.

The govt are also trialling different options for regulation, such as curfews and screen time limits, basically copying what China are doing already. Some sort of a crackdown appears to be on the way.

Legally though, will it affect sentencing if the person was led into extreme porn by the algorithms? That is the key question.
