Child Pornography Laws

For research, see Child Pornography

The definition of "child pornography" is the subject of much debate, particularly in courts. The legal definition varies across jurisdictions, however most countries prohibit photographs depicting minors engaged in sexual activity. Many jurisdictions, notably Canada, also prohibit non-photographic pornographic media featuring children, including computer-generated images, texts, and even audio recordings. In many countries, including the United Kingdom and Australia, nudist depictions of children are generally prohibited.
