No, she did not, then or now. It's yet another example of fallacious cause-and-effect reasoning, i.e.: fact a) porn is more prevalent now; fact b) social standards have dropped; hence a) causes b) - when in fact neither has anything to do with the other. You cannot simply pick out one social factor such as porn and state that that is the root cause of all society's problems. It's nowhere near that simple.

The Romans had porn. Orgies and prostitution were everyday facts of life. Yet theirs was reckoned to be one of the greatest civilisations in human history. Are we to infer from this that porn etc. made the Roman Empire what it was? Of course not.

I would argue we need less censorship, not more - censoring and/or banning material only makes people want it more, it's human nature. What happened in the 1920s during Prohibition? An explosion of illicit booze-making, that's what. Drugs are illegal...and as a result the drugs trade is worth more than the GDP of entire countries.

The sooner governments realise this - that banning things only makes them more desirable - the better.
