The Supreme Court of India is hearing arguments from child protection organizations after the Madras High Court ruled that downloading and watching child pornography is not a criminal offense.

It would be like when people were airdropping shit a few years ago (is that still a thing?) and people were unwittingly getting pictures of someone else’s penis.

“Sexual violence […] motivated by pornography”. That is… Not a thing. Porn doesn’t make people commit violent crimes. If anything, porn availability and consumption appears to decrease sexual assaults.
Porn addiction is also not a thing. Outside of religious and moral crusaders, you won’t hear the phrase. Psychologists that specialize in human sexuality do not refer to porn addiction. When you look at the background of the people talking about porn “addiction” in the US, it always goes back to religion and morality, not clinical research.

Noooope, whatsapp by default downloads images and videos sent to you. I know cuz I have to disable it on my device and clean the downloaded shit from my grandpa’s device. Grandpa does want it to keep downloading.
Edit: Fixed spelling. Misclicked almost evert N with B, lol
