[edit] General Information

In the United States, a 1968 Supreme Court decision which held that people could view whatever they wished in the privacy of their own homes caused Congress to fund a commission that President Lyndon B. Johnson appointed to study pornography. The commission's report, called "Report of the Commission on Obscenity and Pornography", recommended sex education, funding of research into the effects of pornography, restriction of children's access to pornography, and recommended against any restrictions for adults. The report was widely criticized and rejected by Congress.
