The Constitution of the United States guaranties the right of free speech. Historically this applies not only to the spoken word but also the written word. Does this mean that you could walk into a crowded movie theater and yell FIRE! Causing a panic that could potentially injure someone? Does this give you the right to print an article full of blain tent lies that could damage an individual's character? The answer is no, it does not give you that right.
Pornography on the internet can be proven harmful to all ages and genders. It is accessible to anyone who is familiar with computer use and internet access. Pornographic material or images can be degrading to both women and men. Much of the content on adult websites could easily influence a young persons perspective on sex and sexuality. .
Who can log on to the internet? Turn on, boot-up, log on and click on, is all that it takes for anyone to have access to the internet. The computer has no idea who you are, how old you are and what your intent maybe. Therefore a ten year old and an adult have the same ability to explore whatever they choose. .
Have you ever been using the internet when an annoying advertisement appears on your screen? This is known as a pop-up. It's function is to lure you onto their website. These pop-ups cover a variety of subjects, some of which are often pornographic related. One only needs to click on the pop-up and automatically you are taken to their site. However this does not account for your age or sex.
No pop-up on your screen, don't worry pornographic material is still easy to obtain. Type a key word into any search engine and the engine will search the net for topics related to that word or idea. Like sex, if you ask the computer to search the web for anything related to sex, then of course you will be led to pornographic sites. However there are many different words that aren't related to pornography that will also lead you to adult sites.
