ABSTRACT
Not only in India, but all throughout the world pornography is an ethically troubling issue. The worst and most unfavourable effects of technology can be witnessed now when pornography makes about 33 percent of all online content. Anything return, any photograph, any video, meant to provoke sexual urges is the definition of pornography.
The main issue with pornography is that it violates the fundamental rights of speech and expression and to access to the free use of the internet, which has the negative affect on the next generation. There are also several technically specific problems with banning those sites that display pornographic items.
Under 67 of information technology Act 2000, pornography is recognised as a Penal offence. Due to the pornographic content that makes up one third of the internet, males are seeking to oppress and exploit women and children while also engaging in a variety of unnatural sex offences. A strict enforcement of the law is required to end this abuse of women and children.
