“Porn and Social Media are killing our Childhood: UnHerd interview with Jonathan Haidt. Comment: this site is inundated with the details of child sexual abusers from another era but what is happening today, especially when we take account of young children introduced to hard porn from the age of 8.

Since 2012, youth mental health across the West has steadily declined. Jonathan Haidt is an American social psychologist, co-author of bestseller The Coddling of the American Mind and author of the new book The Anxious Generation.

He joins UnHerd’s Florence Read to discuss parenting, porn and the age of anxiety.
