Abstract: Over the past ten years, cyberspace has expanded quickly, making it harder to control the internet because of its ease of use, global reach, and lack of borders. Pornography consumption, reliance, and addiction are proving to be significant issues. It has shown to be a vicious problem in cyberspace. Publication and distributing offensive content featuring minors via technological means is known as cyber child pornography. The rise in cyber child pornography in recent years is the result of easy access to the internet and readily available movies and data. The most horrible crime that takes place is child pornography, which has spawned a number of other crimes like child sex abuse and sex tourism, etc. Enforcing laws is a different process than creating them. Many countries have adequate anti-child pornography legislation in place, but they are not strictly enforced. In addition, monitoring a worldwide operation such as the Internet calls for monitoring nationals of nations with vastly different domestic legal systems, customs, and social mores. Despite the seeming insurmountable nature of these challenges, it is important to keep in mind that cyber child pornography is a real and serious issue on a global, national, and local scale and is not a non-violent crime. Child pornography has become more prevalent and easily accessible in India as a result of the swift development of the internet and technology. This work attempts to analyze and discuss the issues concerning cyber child pornography and the laws that are working for the regulation of such concerns in India with special reference to the Information Technology Act, 2000.
