Answer 1

In recent years, the Supreme Court has struggled to address obscenity on the internet in a first amendment context.

Obscenity is about displaying obscene behaviour or saying vulgar words which are extremely offensive to others.  It was hard to address obscenity in the internet due to the fact that there are certain grounds on how to label someone or something as obscene. Judging something or someone as obscene is not easy to prove because what might obscene to others might not obscene to other people.

Internet’s vulgarity or obscenity has long been the problem in different countries, resulting to toleration of the improper actions.
