What Should Be Done About Internet Pornography? :: Internet Pornography

Is it an abridgment of freedom to restrict access to internet lampblack? How would such an abridgment work?Pornography What it is. For purposes of sermon I will be using the termination in 3 different contexts 1, referring to the collection of visual depictions of erotic activity, usually but not continuously involving full contact sex 2, as well as the production and transmittal of same 3, the industry in general, its depiction, portrayal, and distribution. At every step I hope to make clear in context which Im referring to.What I wont be referring to is whether there is an intrinsically detrimental effect to the consumption of pornography. Research seems clear that when it comes to issues of linking porn to violent or sexually aberrant behavior, there are no causal relationships that can be established (Diamond, Jozifkova, Weiss, 2011, Math, et al., 2014).Pornography What it is not. Although there have been a number of cases throughout the 20th century (and, depressingly), still into the 21st, that attempt to cast one or another work of literature as being full-grown or against community standards, we wont be discussing Huck Finn or James Joyces Ulysses here. A case could be made that sections of the latter are pornographic they are for certain erotic. Pornography as an industry, generates an estimated $100 billion per year. The questions that arise are Are consumers obligated to know where and how products come to us to be consumed? Is the prod uction chain of whatever concern to us at all? Is there an immediate danger or concern to us personally? Is there a long term concern to us personally? Is there a danger to producers or workers in the short or long term? Are we supporting disaster not just in the primary instance, but the secondary instance (at home) or tertiary (abroad)? In the 2009 preface to his book, How Good People Make uncollectible Choices, author Rushworth M. Kidder discusses how there has been a sea-change in the treatment of ethics i n the workplace (Kidder, 2009). In looking at the issue again, it is worthwhile to see if the assumptions regarding pornography stand up under scrutiny. In regard to the claim that every aspect of the production of pornography is rife with criminal involvement, the source of that claim is the infamous Meese Report, since discredited (Calidia, 1986). While there are credible reports of criminal involvement in the production of porn overseas, the involvement in the trade is concerned loosely with the acquisition, production and distribution of illegal materials (Diamond 1999, Diamond 2011).
