As the internet usages and our technologies have improved there are more crimes that are happening through cyber space. And one the most common one is pornography. Pornography is generally not a crime but it has few limitations which will be discussed further. There is no definition for the word pornography in law but there are many definitions stating the meaning. In simpler words, pornography means explicit depiction of sexual subject matter. It can be through books, magazines, films etc.

According to the law, when a pornography is watched in one’s personal space it is not a crime. Because one's fundamental right to personal liberty shall not be questioned. Although publishing or transmitting obscene material/ sexually explicit act in electronic form is punishable under section 67 of Information technology act, 2000.

So, watching porn in public has a high possibility of committing an offence. There is a higher risk of transmitting the pornographic material when watched in public.
