HI,

WILL ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME WHETHER  DOING ANYTHING  WITH  OUR INTERNET ACCOUNT ONLY WITHOUT  INVOLVING  OTHER PEOPLE IS A CYBER CRIME OR NOT?

Hi

Cyber p*rnography Is not A CRIME

Only Child p*rnography IS CRIME In India.

Police & Some Advocates Took advantage & try to use p*rnography act in all situtaions BUT THE Bottom Line is that Publishing Of Child p*rnography IS CRIME In India.

Because It all know That Even America Cant Stop p*rnography They started given licence For p*rnography But They Can Stop Child p*rnography So It is not Allowed in India & US.

Even without involving other people, it is possible to categorise certain action as cyber crime.  A simple message encouraging terrorism or any unlawful activity, even if indirectly, would amount to cyber crime.  It all depends upon the content of the writing on your account.
