Description
Summary:The freedom of artistic expression is not absolute. Since an artistic activity may threaten someone’s dignity, privacy, religious freedom, or freedom of conscience, there may be limits imposed on that right, such as in the case of pornography. Pornography is a phenomenon which has accompanied humanity since the dawn of its history, although it has been considered a crime from the Nineteenth Century onwards. At that time, the evaluation of which communications constituted pornography was changing rapidly. The sexualization of modern culture contributes to the fact that content formerly considered pornographic seems to have no such character today. At the moment, there is no satisfactory uniform definition of pornography either in international law or domestic law. Pornography is often considered dangerous and meriting prosecution on religious grounds as opposed to secular ones. A similar phenomenon occurs in the realm of satire.
