The Swiss Crime Agency has launched a three-minute animated clip which it hopes will warn young people about the dangers of online pornography.

The agency says there’s a worrying rise in consumption and distribution of porn by the young – including self-generated content.

The clip is in the three national languages and it’s hoped it will be shared as a meme.

Obviously, the agency can’t use images to show exactly what it means. So, the clip shows an authoritative figure speaking in a low voice on why watching porn is unacceptable.

The information campaign will be launched next month.
