Petition is addressed to: Petitionsausschuss des Europäischen Parlaments

Pornography is accessible to every child on the Internet without effective age control. Protection of minors does not actually take place on the Internet.

We demand that children be protected from freely available pornography with an effective lock. Children are de-socialized on the Internet through pornography.

Adolescents spend much of their free time visiting porn sites today. Politicians largely ignore the fact that elementary school students are already consuming pornography on the Internet.

The largest group of users of freely available internet pornography is the age group of 12 to 18 year olds.

According to applicable law, the porn market accessible to children fulfills a criminal offense:

Section 184 of the Criminal Code (StGB): "Whoever makes pornography accessible to a person under the age of eighteen or accesses it in a place that can be viewed, exhibited or performed by minors, makes himself liable to prosecution. "

The state has a role model function and must therefore ensure that our children are protected from influences that impair or even endanger their mental, intellectual and physical well-being.

The role models of the porn industry shape children's brain structures of violent, inhumane sexual practices that can control their feelings of pleasure for life.

New studies show that early and intensive consumption of pornography deforms young brain structures, inhibits the ability to bind and promotes sexual violence. https://www.degruyter.com/view/j/ijamh.ahead-of-print/ijam-2015-0003/ijamh-2015-0003.xml

Article 1 of the Basic Law: "Human dignity is inviolable. To respect and protect it is an obligation of all state violence."

We hereby call for the state's duty of protection to respect human dignity. Hard pornography constitutes a violation of human dignity. Women are abused, beaten, insulted, degraded and raped in the sexual stimulation depictions of the consumer. In view of the voluntary waiver of the actors' human dignity in porn productions, the state has an obligation to protect minors from the role model function of freely available pornographic content.

Male porn actors who behave like sexual psychopaths become role models for the male sexuality of the young Internet generation.

Pornography normalizes sexual violence.

In the most popular porn films, sexual violence against women is normal:

88% of the scenes show physical violence 49% of the scenes contain verbal aggression against women 95% of the victims of sexual violence react neutral or with pleasure ´ pornharmsresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/Violence-Against-Women-2010-Bridges-1065-85.pdf

Analysis of research into sexual violence and pornography shows that porn consumers develop the following beliefs and practices:

the rape victim is enjoying the rape Women in general enjoy rape a rape victim has pleasure and "gets what she wanted" Women would make false allegations of rape a higher likelihood of future rape, more frequent rape participation

We demand the implementation of the youth protection media state contract.

Youth Protection Media State Treaty (JMStV): State Treaty on the Protection of Human Dignity and Protection of Minors in Radio and Telemedia) states:

General provisions § 1 The purpose of the State Treaty is the uniform protection of children and adolescents from offers in electronic information and communication media that impair or endanger their development or education, and the protection against such offers in electronic information and communication media that affect human dignity or violate other legal goods protected by the Criminal Code.

Inadmissible offers § 4 5. Describe cruel or otherwise inhumane acts of violence against people in a way that expresses glorification or trivialization of such acts of violence or that represents the cruel or inhumanity of the process in a manner that violates human dignity; this also applies to virtual representations ...

Pornography normalizes violent sexuality that despises women and thus damages the development of children into healthy, lovable adults.
