Will the police catch you watching movies with your mobile phone?

It depends on the situation. Watching porn on a mobile phone is not illegal as long as it is watched on a mobile phone and does not spread. Only by spreading bad videos and pictures online can you be caught, because it is a criminal act. The crime of spreading obscene articles refers to spreading obscene books, periodicals, films, audio-visual, pictures or other obscene articles, disrupting the state's management order of obscene articles and endangering the physical and mental health of the broad masses of people, especially teenagers, and must be resolutely cracked down according to law.

Browsing with a mobile phone will not be caught, but copying, downloading, publicity and other acts prohibited by law will bear legal responsibility, as follows. According to Article 5 (6) of the Administrative Measures for the Security Protection of Computer Information Network International Networking, no unit or individual may use the Internet to produce, copy, consult and disseminate information that promotes feudal superstition, obscenity, pornography, gambling, violence, murder, terror and abetting crimes. At the same time, anyone who downloads or copies pornographic websites is suspected of violating the provisions of Article 68 of the Law on Public Security Administration Punishment, which is an illegal act of copying obscene articles and will be detained or fined. If you watch it with others, it is suspected of violating the provisions of Article 69 of the Law on Public Security Administration Punishment, which belongs to the act of organizing the broadcast of obscene articles. If the circumstances are serious, it is suspected of constituting the crime of spreading obscene articles or organizing the broadcasting of obscene audio-visual products. In this regard, I would like to remind you that browsing pornographic websites is a suspected illegal act. While being alert to online fraud, we should also resist various illegal acts such as online obscenity and pornography.
