The Internet is not to blame.

"One of the motivators for me making the film was that a friend of my daughter came round to talk to me about a boy she had her eye on and he said she could be his girlfriend if she gave him a blowjob."

How can any rational person believe this is different from 40 years ago? You don't think teenage guys were asking for blowjobs in the 70s?!

The sexual pseudo-revolution changed our society's norms forever, well before the internet, and modern ADULT culture keeps them alive in ways that affect young people. Really, adults should be looking at themselves as the reason for why kids act the way they do.

But what adult would possibly blame themselves for what they can blame on the internet?

"Most of the responsibility has to lie, however, she thinks, with the corporations."

And telephone companies should be held accountable if someone calls you bad words on the phone. Look, there is a certain amount of personal responsibility that parents and our society as a whole have to take on, because no amount of litigiousness will stop people from behaving badly. Social change requires social change.
