Pornography_in_Cyprus
Pornography in Cyprus is legal with restrictions. Selling pornographic material to people under 18 years old is illegal. Child pornography is a crime and is strictly prohibited.[citation needed]
Law enforcement agencies and local police frequently monitor internet activity where crime like child pornography most often occurs. Law enforcement can gather information from one's computer or identify subscriber information based on one's IP address. If someone is convicted of accessing, possessing or distributing child pornography, the only sentence available is a jail sentence according to Act 22 (III) / 2004, on the Law against Internet Crime. The serving time depends on the type of crime the offender commits.[1]
Cyprus has been called the hub of pornography, due to the fact that major porn companies are headquartered in Cyprus, especially Pornhub and xHamster.[2]
