A.Dear Client,
Engaging in the viewing or sharing of pornography, be it child or adult content, on digital devices through social media platforms is considered illegal and constitutes a punishable crime under the law. An amendment to the Information Technology Act in 2008 introduced Section 67B, which criminalizes the publication, transmission, or causing the transmission of sexually explicit content involving children. A first conviction under this section can lead to imprisonment for up to five years and a fine of up to ten lakh rupees, with subsequent convictions potentially resulting in seven years of imprisonment and a similar fine.
Section 66A addresses the punishment for sending offensive messages through digital communication devices, such as computers or mobile phones, with a maximum penalty of three years in jail and a fine.
Sharing private pictures, messages, or videos, particularly those involving individuals under 18, either with or without permission, is a serious violation of privacy and is subject to legal repercussions. Reporting such crimes to the Cyber Crime Cell initiates a suo motu investigation, and individuals may be called for interrogation to determine the source of offensive posts on social networks. The authorities will assess the veracity of the facts through related intermediaries or service providers. If an investigation reveals a violation of the Information Technology Act, charges may be filed; otherwise, individuals will be acquitted. Reporting specific incidents to the Cyber Crime Cell is crucial for preventing and prosecuting crimes, emphasizing the importance of citizens' awareness and reporting attitude.
