ABSTRACT

Can a government legitimately forbid citizens from posting or watching pornography, or is this an unreasonable infringement of fundamental freedoms? The traditional discussion against pornography has centred on religious conservatives, feminists, and liberals, particularly in Western cultures. Many conservatives and feminists feel they can both define and rightly criticise pornography because it lacks intellectual or artistic worth, is damaging to viewers, and destroys the moral fabric of society. Their attacks against pornography aim to reject pornographic expression as a kind of communication or idea transmission. Their ideological opponents say that pornographic content is frequently excellent art or, at the very least, contributes to sexual independence and emancipation.”
