Summary of Topic 2

BloggersCode had the intention to narrow down last week's question by asking "Should online pornography be totally banned?" The word totally was added in order to make our visitors think more critically about the situation. Let' see how it went:
The topic ran from February 06 to 13 and it generated 452 hits. In the poll, 36% of the voters said no while the remaining 64% indicated a firm yes.
Many of our respondents were lenient with online pornography, if it is made with the user’s consent, and especially if the person is an adult. Issues were raised regarding their take on the prevalence of online pornography as an entity that is now easily accessible to minors. These people have opined that online pornography should not be totally banned because they believe that some rights will be violated in exchange, including freedom of expression. They suggested that regulation and stricter laws on online pornography would be a better alternative.

There was a weaker voice in our polls claiming that online pornography should be totally banned. According to some of the comments, it is debasing and self-destructive, and it creates greed because pornography creators only seek profit. The ease of accessing online pornography was one of their strongest arguments, as they claimed that parents are not always around to protect their children.
