It is so sad that the internet which is suppose to facilitate effective dissemination of information and make life technically easier, has become instrumental to promoting different kinds of immoralities of which adult content is top on the list. Some of these sites have even made it seem attractive by paying money to our children to get them to send in their nude pictures.
