Is it a publicity stunt or entertainment?

www.opensubtitles.org
It is shocking to see how most celebrities promotes pornographic photographs and videos on social media sites, especially YouTube. This is usually because these celebrities want free publicity on other mediums like radio,newspaper and TV. They know that once they link their sex tapes and pornographic photos they will go viral,giving people something to talk about the next day or for that month. However, some of these celebrities get their sex tapes or pornographic photos linked by someone who just want to be spiteful. It is normally done by an ex lover who is trying to ruin his/her ex partner's reputation.

This sends out a wrong message to young people because everything that is potrayed by a famous person is considered acceptable. This make young people especially teenagers to believe that exposing your body is a "cool" thing to do. Many teenagers between thirteen and seventeen have internet access which makes them to have access to these videos and photos. Most young people adopt a behaviour that they see from celebrities an young girls are most vulnerable to these behaviour. They end up posing naked infront of the camera sharing those photos with their boyfriends and people whom they don't know through social networks.

Do celebrities promote child porn through social media sites?

  1. Celebrities definately use the internet to promote themselves and receive free publicity but I disagree with you on the fact that they promote child porn through social media

  2. it is ones choice to choose to take what is portrayed in the media and relate it to his/her lifestyle. i personally don't think it has that major effect, it really does not promote child pornography.

    1. it does promote child porn because children believe that posing naked is a good thing to do because they see their favourite celebrity doing it.

  3. it is sad but true that celebrities use the internet to get free publicity and they do that at the expense of children who are not suppose to be exposed to such viideos,images etc.they forget that they are role models and whatever they do is seen as ethical in the eyes of children.

  7. For some reason I immediately thought of Kim Kardashian...I don't think celebrities promote child pornography, however I do think they exploit social media to gain free publicity on other media platforms.

  8. Not so real,but we can just say no because in all media things like magazines or phonographic they did specify not to sell/show the child under the age of 18.

  9. They do not it is time teenagers are thought to think for themselves and not use media as an excuse because it is convenient to do so. The media does not brain wash anyone or force anyone into doing anything it is just there and you as a person than take the decision of whether what you see is right or wrong and if you will do it or not.

  10. I think its just madness to wanna promote urself by exposing yourself naked on porn for the whole world to see and yes celebrities do that bt I dnt approve of that and it is true that people take and think that its a good thing bt truth be told it makes no sense. And sadly society gets damagaed by what celebrities do for their selfish benefit to give people something to talk about.

  12. I think its not okay for celebs to get attention by posting their naked pics, in fact i think they should be fined

  13. I think celebrities should know their boundaries in the public. It seems like they misuse the fact that they have tons of followers. It is shocking the way they seek for publicity, why would one take nude pictures for a publicity stunt? Where is their dignity and pride? This is no longer for entertainment like back in the days.

  14. to be honest to u, nothing called bad publicity. it can be a stunt of entertainment at once.

  15. celebrities should have morals as well so that they know what not to post for the public and as for the ex lovers who are being spiteful they should grow up or evn sued.

  16. Celebrities do not promote child pornography they are simply aiming for publicity.Children copy that because they think it's cool to do that.

  22. I think that bussineses as always are failing to put public interest at heart. And that profit is the oder oder of the day for these enterprises.

  24. At some degree it is publicity stunt, you know what they say "sex sells" but I doubt I’d sink that low. And I do not think they promote child porn, every programme has an age restriction, and the parents have to do their bit.
