Is it illegal to disseminate pornographic information?

It is illegal to spread pornographic information.

First, the definition and harm of yellow information

Yellow information usually refers to the content involving sexual suggestion, sexual teasing or sexual violence, and often has the characteristics of vulgar and bad information. Spreading pornographic information will not only do harm to personal physical and mental health, especially to the growth of minors, but also destroy social morality and disrupt normal social order.

Second, the prohibitive provisions of laws and regulations

China has clear laws and regulations to regulate the behavior of spreading yellow information. Article 68 of the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on Public Security Administration Punishment clearly stipulates that those who produce, transport, copy, sell or rent obscene books, periodicals, pictures, films, audio-visual products and other obscene articles or use computer information networks, telephones and other communication tools to disseminate obscene information shall be detained for more than 10 days and less than 15 days, and may also be fined less than 3,000 yuan; If the circumstances are minor, they shall be detained for not more than five days or fined not more than five hundred yuan.

In addition, Articles 363 to 366 of the Criminal Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) also stipulate the conviction and sentencing of the act of spreading obscene articles. According to the seriousness of the case, they may be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment, criminal detention or public surveillance, and may also be fined.

Third, social responsibility and personal self-discipline

As a member of society, everyone has the responsibility to safeguard social morality and the dignity of laws and regulations. We should consciously abide by the relevant regulations, do not produce or disseminate pornographic information, and actively report the illegal acts found, and jointly create a healthy and harmonious social environment.

In addition, individuals should also strengthen self-discipline, improve their moral quality and legal awareness, and do not click, download or forward pornographic information to protect themselves and others from harmful information.

To sum up:

Spreading pornographic information is an obvious illegal act, which not only violates social morality, but also violates laws and regulations. We should consciously abide by relevant regulations, strengthen personal self-discipline and jointly safeguard social morality and the dignity of laws and regulations.
