Watched porn by mistake
1 month ago
About one month ago I was looking for one movie to download and I was connected to turbo vpn, but accidentally I landed up somewhere else, it was just file, I didn't knew what's inside and downloaded something else, it was unusual porn, because face was blur, I immediately deleted it and cleared history but after sometime I got calls from hongkong and they were forwarded to India, I didn't picked up the calls, It's been a month now but I'm afraid, am I in trouble?
A.Dear Client,
Viewing pornography, whether child pornography or adult content, on digital devices through social media platforms is considered illegal and a crime punishable under law. Section 67B of the Information Technology Act, 2000, criminalizes the publishing, transmitting, or causing the transmission of sexually explicit content depicting children. The punishment for a first conviction includes imprisonment for up to five years and a fine of up to ten lakh rupees. Subsequent convictions may lead to a maximum of seven years of imprisonment and a fine of up to ten lakh rupees.
Section 66A of the Information Technology Act, 2000, defines the punishment for sending offensive messages through computers or communication devices, with a maximum penalty of three years of imprisonment and a fine.
Sharing private pictures, messages, or videos, especially of those under 18, with or without permission, is a serious violation of privacy and is punishable by law. If such a crime, falling under Section 67B of the IT Act, is reported to the Cyber Crime Cell, authorities will initiate an investigation. You may be called for interrogation to identify the source of offensive posts on social networks. If the investigation reveals a violation of the Act, charges may be pressed against you; otherwise, you will be acquitted.
In the event of legal proceedings, it is advisable to seek assistance from a knowledgeable advocate experienced in cyber law to navigate the consequences appropriately.
