What is illegal to view on the internet?
Illegal content placed on the internet may be infringing or prohibited under different Commonwealth or state laws. Some online content may also be considered illegal or prohibited, such as:
Child pornography
Instructions on how to commit a crime, violent activity, or use drugs
Real sex
Too much violence

They may inadvertently stumble on such content while carrying out online searches or they may seek it out or be referred content by others. People using smartphones might come across content that may be blocked by school and home internet filters.
What Content is Illegal on the Internet: What is Illegal Content?
The scope of illegal content varies with different countries, but in most cases, it includes child sexual abuse material. Users can discover illegal digital content online in various spaces, including websites, social media platforms, or file-sharing services. It is mostly discovered inadvertently, for instance, when a user clicks on links in spam messages. Illegal content may also be shared through emails or messaging services.
In addition to child sexual abuse material, illegal content could include obscene or racial content. Some illegal content – in particular, child porn material – may be extremely distressing to look at and lead to sex crimes. Illegal content includes:
Footage of real or simulated violence, accidents, or criminal activity, from movies, video clips, or games.
Sexually explicit images, including those of child sexual abuse.
Content that promotes extreme political views, potentially used for radicalizing vulnerable people.
Materials that promote hate towards groups or individuals based on religion, race, or sexual preference.
Instructions that promote violence, crime, or unsafe behaviour, such as how to make weapons and bombs, drug use, or terrorism.
Gaining unauthorized access to streaming services.
Stealing IP address and committing computer fraud and abuse
What Content is Illegal on the Internet: How People Access Illegal Content?
Users may be exposed to such content through otherwise activities such as:
Unexpected results from search engines
Clicking on unknown links
Typing a web address incorrectly
Clicking on a pop-up ad
Clicking on prize offers or online games
At times, people deliberately access illegal content, especially as they get into adolescence. This can be because of curiosity or sharing with friends for how shocking the content is.
Illegal content can expose us to concepts that they are not ready to manage and that may breach social and cultural beliefs. Some content can be distressing. Kids exposed to such content may not report it to teachers or parents because they may be ashamed of what they have seen.
