At one point in history, children couldn’t go anywhere without their parent’s permission. And if by some chance they got away and went to a place they didn’t belong, they would at least get in trouble with the law. 
Today, circumstances are somewhat different. Children have more freedom than they ever did before. They don’t need their parent’s permission to visit places that spark their curiosity. And they most certainly don’t have to worry about conflicts with authorities. Best of all, they can visit these places right from the comfort of their bedrooms.
Sure puberty is only knocking, but who needs to wait a few more years to visit a strip club? With just a few clicks and some bogus security questions to confirm the user’s age, the frantic adolescent brings the strip club home.     
As dad walks in, the tab is simultaneously shut. Only the pyramids and the periodic table are displayed. Soon the history is obliterated. All traces are gone. Everybody is innocent.
Before long, dad gets his chance also. The process is repeated. Only this time, it’s dad’s rendezvous with Candy girl 216.
It’s just that simple nowadays. With the world at our fingertips, there’s nothing we can’t have. Of course, on paper the law is clearly outlined. Sure we are told what we can and can not access. We are told who can access what. And parental control is available if need be.  But it’s safe to say these restrictions are hardly hurdles at the moment.
And with the convenience of mobile devices, access to whatever anywhere is inevitable. This includes children bringing their gadgets to school and sharing adult rated content with their peers. At times, it’s even possible to find adults taking pleasure in public thanks to their laptops and other devices.
In today’s world, there is absolutely no effort necessary to find obscenity. Maybe all you want to do is catch a glimpse of the funniest kitten on the planet. But along comes the bone head who feels the need to express his tirade against an innocent kitten. Or maybe you just want to catch up on all the scores from last night, but the audience here has an uncanny ability to change the subject from sports to politics, to race and suddenly to hatred on an unbelievable level.  
Then there are cowards on a whole another level. They hide behind their anonymity and reveal their repulsion of those who maybe suffering due to starvation or natural disasters. They regard the information that is reported as irrelevant and the victims as extraneous. Still this is seen as freedom of speech. Ultimately there is hardly anything done to combat this sort of hate.
As for all the personal information we think we share with only a select few, we have no idea how far it actually spreads. Often we forget that advertisers feast on every little bit of information we give.  Meaning if you’re black and single, you are bombarded with ads of black women looking for black men. And all it takes is one click of an ad to open up Pandora’s Box.
This is most certainly true on sites where copyright infringement is the norm. The ads on these websites appear from all corners in hopes of getting the user to click them. And once they’re clicked, what follows is usually an unwanted download, viruses, and other malicious content.
One of the most disturbing trends on the internet recently took place on Facebook as nude photos were posted by hackers. But it was not the first time Facebook had faced such an issue and it most definitely is not the first or last website with this problem. However, this is just a small sample of what happens in a world that’s loosely regulated.
