Is it illegal to browse unhealthy content?

Browsing unhealthy content is generally not illegal. Browsing unhealthy content itself is not illegal, and it is uncivilized behavior, which is not conducive to personal physical and mental health, especially for teenagers. If there is an act of sharing and spreading unhealthy websites, it is suspected of spreading obscene articles and will be subject to criminal punishment.
