Sascha Cohen Wrote About Threats To Free Speech For GQ
For GQ, Sascha Cohen wrote about the cultural turn against online porn.
Cohen told Study Hall, “Bipartisan anti-porn sentiment is helping set the stage for sweeping censorship laws that have reached the Supreme Court. Porn performers and First Amendment experts worry about the implications for privacy and sexual expression.”
For the article, Cohen traced the history of porn becoming mainstream and spoke to experts about the broader impact of the anti-porn backlash. Cohen writes, “When we view porn through the narrow lens of morality rather than the expansive lens of human expression, we ignore its anarchic and artistic possibilities.”
Cohen’s reporting has appeared in The Nation, HuffPost, VICE, and Vulture.
