    Sexual activities that depict violence or harm in ways of rape, degrading sex gender, domination and more makes people question whether these types of sexual violence seen in pornography should be regulated. Should we then regulate all of pornography due to violence that occurs during or after production? It is not true that all pornography is shown as violent nor do we know what occurs behind the scenes.

But when the kids get mature or responsible the parents can allow their children more freedom on the internet.…
