It is difficult to make general statements about the effects and consequences of possible problematic content. This also applies to pornographic content. At the very least, they should keep young children away from pornography. For young people, the situation is a bit more complicated. Here it depends strongly on the respective disposition and the concrete content. The blanket assertion that pornographic content gives young people a false image of sexuality is not accurate. They can often distinguish very well between representations in the media and realistic sexuality. However, hard pornography should not be accessible under any circumstances. In particular, such pornographic content that shows violence or otherwise exceeds a level of tolerable freedom can have unexpected consequences. This includes depictions of sexual abuse of children or adolescents. Because such content is usually punishable by law, it should be reported to a complaints office.
