Popular websites such as WorldStarHipHop.com (374th most visited site in the U.S.; Alexa.com) display violent and criminal activities to a predominantly young audience (16-24). Videos contain graphic fights, drug use, sexual content, and explicit language. Individuals who are exposed to criminal behavior, among other factors, are likely to pick up on these characteristics. Many videos on these sites contain graphic content, including extremely violent fights, and have no age restrictions in place. Our nation faces the largest crime issue in the world. We need to stop the issue at the root by enforcing restrictions on content, which has been shown to increase chance of engagement in criminal behavior by those exposed. I encourage those of you concerned with our future to sign.
