💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court of India ruled that watching and downloading child pornography are criminal offenses under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and the Information Technology (IT) Act. The court suggested amending the term 'child pornography' to 'child sexually abusive and exploitative material' in the law, and urged courts to avoid using the term 'child pornography'.
