Watching Pornography Is Not A Crime

According to the Madras High Court, personally viewing child pornography is not considered a crime, but sharing such explicit content is deemed illegal.

The magistrate also expressed concern about the prevalence of porn addiction among Generation Z individuals, emphasizing the need for counselling to help children overcome this addiction.

These remarks were made in the context of a case where an individual faced charges for watching child pornography, prompting the accused to file a petition in court. The individual admitted to watching pornography but insisted that it did not involve child exploitation. Additionally, he informed the court of his intention to seek counselling to address his porn addiction.
