India declares downloading and watching child porn is legal

[Bar Razor]

No doubt protecting themselves in case of future discovery.

Reads like there’s a legal loophole with how the law is written, not that there’s a desire to make this the case. I’m expecting lawmakers will write new legislation to close this loophole, but the article didn’t quote any reactions from legislators, so…

It's india, they had to be forced through global shaming to start punishing rapist, of course this is true.

I completely read this headline wrong...

I swear when I read the title, the "child" part wasn't there I had to scroll back up and read it again

That country and its people need to be wiped off the map

Right! I missed the "child" and "legal" thought it said illegal.

Doesn't matter because

Instagram = Soft pornography

Already 14 year olds are showing all types of skin in suggestible positions in Instagram and Facebook. We think it's just 14 year old boys liking those things and viewing them but it's also grown men.

“To make out an offense under Section 14(1) of the Protection of Child from Sexual Offenses Act, 2012, a child or children must have been used for pornography purposes. This would mean that the accused person should have used the child for pornographic purposes. Even assuming that the accused person had watched child pornography [videos], that strictly will not fall within the scope of Section 14(1) of the Protection of Child from Sexual Offenses Act, 2012,” explained the judge at the Madras High Court.


Harish had his charges quashed, with the judge explaining that merely downloading and watching child pornography would not be considered a criminal offense under the POCSO Act and the Information Technology law. The decision lead to outrage from child protection groups.

WHAT THE fukk?!?!
