Summary:
The article states that internet pornography is easily and freely accessible and the main problem being that it is a global business and hence dealing with it also requires global support. And the market has now sinked lower than ever before with the announcement of a porn app for Google Glass where stolen images of women were posted and the victims were required to pay to get them removed. A strict ban on such things is what is required.
