Patricia Nilsson, investigative reporter for the Financial Times, discusses her book, "Guilty Pleasure: The Pornification of the Internet, the Economy, and Everything Else." Short take: The basic structures of the modern internet, things like e-commerce, affiliate marketing, and live streaming, were pioneered and developed by the porn industry. She also discusses the way that internet pornography has changed actual sexual practices and expanded what sorts of activities—including violent, degrading acts—are widely regarded as normal and acceptable, and connects this trend with the expansion of what is acceptable in politics in the age of Trump. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxGhWlTF2zs
