As soon as people stop consuming this, it will go away. However, I don’t believe we should have government tell adults that they can and cannot view. Adults can decide for themselves.

I am opposed to a Right-wing Nanny-state just as much as a Left-wing Nanny-state. “For the Children” is a weak excuse for government coercion and government meddling in our lives.

There was a time when social norms were dictated by the community. When there are no social norms, this is what you get. Unfortunately, it doesn’t just harm children. I don’t have an answer to what can be done about it, because technology has made it impossible to govern, but I mourn the loss of community standards.
