Addiction and Consumption of Cyber Pornography Have Increased Risk Factors and Harmful Effects Among Emerging Adults
Abstract
The internet has revolutionized the human lives globally, and internet access has become easier and more affordable than ever before. The rise of the internet has increased concerns on various cybercrimes, such as child pornography, revenge porn, deepfake pornography, and non-consensual content. Cyber pornography is the creation, distribution, and consumption of pornographic materials, such as obscene writings, pictures, photographs, text, audio, and movies through the internet. It is a fast growing environment due to the absence of any concrete law against it, and its triple-A nature, such as accessibility, affordability, and anonymity. Negative social issues, such as child abuse, violence against women, rape, relationships, family breakdown, inequality, youth crime, promiscuity, and sexually transmitted diseases may develop due to the addiction of cyber pornography. Cyber pornography is now one of the most burning issues in media all over the world. International community has been trying for the safety and welfare of women and children of the world by passing laws regulating international actions.
