This
paper explores the issue of child pornography and the Internet. The paper begins with a discussion of the recent spurt
of offensive
material readily available to anyone who wants to access it via the Internet and suggests that serious legislation needs to be established to control who can view these
sites. The paper mentions a number of bills that have been passed by various states to try and curb the spread and use of these sites. The writer also looks at the conflict between censoring such material and the constitutional amendment to allow freedom of speech.
