pornography, the only type to have shown
negative effects of people

Anyone under the age of 18 and in some


countries 21 cannot participate in a
pornographic film or photo shoot

Children are forced to participate in these


acts in most cases
Underage Viewing
Pornography must be viewed by an adult, meaning
they are at least 18 (21 in some countries)
Most pornographic websites have age verification
applications, but all a person has to do is click a
button or fill out a birth date which then gives
access to these websites
Legal Issues
There are many legal issues surrounding
internet pornography but it is simply to hard
to censor the internet and that is why it is
still so readily available today.

Also many countries have their own laws and


beliefs when it comes to internet
pornography, or any types of pornography
Legal Issues (cont’d)

had some success in filtering out
pornographic sites but there is always a way
around it

participate in or produce

sentence for possession of “extreme

categories of
pornography:
1. Sexually Violent Material
2. Nonviolent Material
depicting degradation &
domination
3. Nonviolent and non-
degrading material
4. Nudity
5. Child Pornography
Interesting Facts
Nearly 90% of all ‘legal’ pornography is created
and/or distributed from the San Fernando Valley
area of Southern California (Van Nuys,
Chatsworth, Canoga Park, etc)

AVN Magazine reports that online traffic


increases during working hours. As much as 70%
of reported traffic occurred during hours of 8-5
on weekdays, in 2006.

It is estimated that less than 10% of E-Commerce


is adult-oriented. The largest single chunk .
Summary and Conclusion
The release of the internet made it possible
for internet pornography. Now millions of
people view these images each day and has
become the largest chunk of E-commerce
producing hundreds of millions of dollars
each year.
Internet pornography does have its
downsides but the positives it has created out
weigh them so greatly that I believe it has, in
part made the world what it is today.
