Cyber Pornography
There is no settled definition of pornography or obscenity. What is considered simply sexually explicit but not obscene in USA may well be considered obscene in India. There have been many attempts to limit the availability of pornographic content on the Internet by governments and law enforcement bodies all around the world but with little effect. Pornography on the Internet is available in different formats. These range from pictures and short animated movies, to sound files and stories. The Internet also makes it possible to discuss sex, see live sex acts, and arrange sexual activities from computer screens. Although the Indian Constitution guarantees the fundamental right of freedom of speech and expression, it has been held that a law against obscenity is constitutional. The Supreme Court has defined obscene as offensive to modesty or decency; lewd, filthy, repulsive.
