This article talks about the pornography issue that is ever a serious issue globally. A Chinese man who operated a pornographic site in China has been send to prison for 13 years and was fined 100,000 Yuan which was 16,800 U.S Dollar. The Chinese man named Huang Yizhong was found guilty as he was the one who copied and broadcasted pornographic content. Now, China maintains its strict internet censorship to limit what the government believes to be unhealthy and harmful content such as porn and violence.
This article includes issues such as internet censorship, ethnical publishing and wrong visual display. Nowadays, we can find pornographic materials everywhere, mainly the internet. Personally, I found pornographic materials as a bothering and disturbing matter. However, different individual have different perception towards pornography.

Initially, pornography should be restrict to a certain limit because when a person consume too much on sexually explicit materials, violence could happen against women such as raping and sexually assault (Stark 1997). Besides that, people around the world misused the internet nowadays. For instance, people can just watch or download porn materials from the internet. As expected, sex is one of the most typed keywords on the internet (Lo and Wei 2007, pp.13). Some may unintentionally entered a pornography site when searching for other information such as sex which means gender. On the other hand, children nowadays are on the internet more often than their parents. For that reason, it is easy for the children to access to some pornography sites by mistake. Therefore, restriction regarding pornography sites should be tighten to avoid any maltreatment.

As a member of the society, we must understand that mass media is a very powerful tools that can easily influence our mind and thoughts especially the children. Usually, kids absorb whatever thing they see and hear, and have the enthusiasm to know everything (Coker 2010). Consequently, pornography materials that can be found in the internet should be censor as soon as possible so it does not affect the mindset of the children.
