Keywords:
internet, cyber crime, transactions, malicious, threats, civilizationAbstract
The most common debate today is the ever increasing influence of technology and the advantages and disadvantages it carries with itself. The prolonged and continuous use of technology has drastically affected the way people communicate. As Frank Abagnale has thoughtfully cited how technology breeds crime, the radical increase in cybercrimes, evidently proves the misuse of technology. This misuse is the main reason for the implementation and enactment of the cyber laws. This paper focuses on the emerging cybercrimes with an emphasis on cyber pornography along with issues relating to the implementation of respective law.
The internet connects people from all parts of the world easy, fast and relatively. They have been developed to reduce the effort of people and provide countless visible advantages for human beings. Alongside the growing need of cyber space, it can also pose certain threats which have critical impact on the civilisation. It becomes a more dangerous place to be in, where the offenders roam freely to execute their malicious intentions encouraged by the anonymity that internet provides.
The central idea behind this piece of research is to deal with the negative use of Information technology including 'cyber pornography' and possible changes needed in the system to combat with the problems relating to cyber-crime having safe and trustworthy transactions.
