The content of websites and other electronic communications may be distasteful,
obscene or offensive for a variety of reasons.
In some instances these communications may be illegal.
Many jurisdictions place limits on certain speech and ban racist,
blasphemous, politically subversive, libelous or slanderous, seditious, or inflammatory material
that tends to incite hate crimes.
The extent to which these communications are unlawful varies greatly
between countries, and even within nations. It is a sensitive area in which
the courts can become involved in arbitrating between groups with entrenched beliefs.
One area of Internet pornography that has been the target of the strongest efforts
at curtailment is child pornography.
