They discussed the availability of porn to kids and teenagers.

Dr. Ruth Penfold-Mounce is a criminology lecturer. She said it's obvious that there's an element of pornography in television shows, exposing kids to pornography more easily.

Dr. David Carey is an American consulting psychologist working in Dublin. He says that it's parents' responsibility to curtail what their children do on the internet. However, he says that no direct link between watching porn and committing acts of sexual violence have been established.

Charlotte Rose is a sex worker, author and political activist. She blames consent issues on a lack of education at a young age. She also said that parents need to safeguard what their children access on the internet, particularly tube websites. However, she also noted the rise in ethical porn websites which portray the actors as being in a loving relationship.
