Journalism in the digital age: trends and threads

Abstract

In the globalised world the Internet is becoming extremely globalised. Freedom of
speech and easy access to the information are praised. But how much can the Internet be good for
people, especially for their most vulnerable part, such as children? This paper contributes to the
discussion on protecting children from access to pornographic content. The topic of the article has
a global significance.
This paper contributes to the discussion on protecting children from access to pornographic
content but has a global significance. Internet and mobile device usage have become a central
feature in children’s lives. Taking into account the growing availability of prohibited content such
as pornography to children, it seems appropriate to launch certain measures in order to restrict
kids’ access to this. In addition, this consultation addresses many socially important research
topics and answer several questions in this essay. In particular, whether age verification controls
should be placed on all forms of legal pornography (‘sex works’) online that would receive a British
Board of Film Classification rating of 18 or R18 or not; should this measure be implemented for
websites containing still and moving images of pornography and which methods should be used
in order to conduct age verification online.
