Impact of porn in U.S.—study
NZPA correspondent Washington The Attorney-General, Edwin Meese, has appointed an 11-member commission to study the impact of pornography on American society and to develop ways to curb X-rated productions. The American Civil Liberties Union charged that the panel’s mandate indicated that its purpose was to find new censorship methods. A 1970 presidential commission on pornography concluded no new laws were needed. Mr Meese said that since then, though, “the content has radically changed, with more and more emphasis upon extreme violence.”
