Question

The internet makes it possible to sell all over the world digital products like music, books, and films that maybe offensive in certain cultures.  For example, in Japan it is acceptable to publish and read comic books that graphically depict sex with children (notice these are comic books, so they do not depict actual persons, but fictional drawings).  Should the US or other governments ban the viewing and sale of web versions of these comic books and other culturally offensive digital products?  If yes, who should decide which products are offensive?  If no, how could we prevent the harm caused by these products? Answer around 100 worlds. Thanks

Explanation / Answer

No, the US government and other governments shouldn’t have the right to ban the viewing and sale of the web version of these comic books and digital products.

People do have their rights. Also, it is really difficult to stop airing these products. So, the government may not be able to control the selling or viewing of comics or other digitally offensive products. The government, on the other hand can limit the sale of such things in public places or closer to places where children accumulate, such as schools, tuition classes, parks etc. Also, strong regulations should be made similar to sexual offence for adults along with strong punitive measures for the criminals.
