One of the last things that Thomas Crooks reportedly searched for on the internet before he tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump was p*rnography. It’s brought the taboo issue of p*rn addiction back into the limelight.

“What we have to understand about p*rnography is that it literally rewires the brain," says Clare Morell, senior policy analyst at the Ethics and Public Policy Center. "Their prefrontal cortex—which is that part of our brain responsible for our self control, our impulse control, emotional regulation—isn't fully developed till the age of 25.”

Morell is an advocate for child protection and a leading voice in the conversation about digital safety. She's also the author of the forthcoming book, "The Tech Exit: A Manifesto for Freeing Our Kids," which looks at the disastrous effect that p*rnography and other violent and sexual online content has had on society.

“Kids don't even need to go looking for it anymore. It finds them on social media," says Morell.
