Social Media, the Phenomenon of Pornification, and the Culture of Easy Money
The shift of pornography into everyday life and social media, combined with the desire to make easy money, is evolving into a new social dimension.
The spread of pornography into everyday culture and social media, combined with a culture of easy money, is creating a new social phenomenon of pornification. Prof. Dr. Hakan Aydın discusses the risks and social dimensions created by this situation.
The Spread of Pornification into Everyday Life
The transfer of pornography into everyday culture can be observed in a wide range of areas, from magazines and advertisements to music videos and digital platforms. Every new medium makes sexual connotations more visible and commonplace.
Social Media and the New Dimension
Social media constitutes a breaking point in this process. People are no longer merely spectators, but are transforming into actors who bring pornographic practices to the screen and reproduce them.
Easy Money and Digital Capitalism
Digital platforms have turned into centers of attraction for those dreaming of getting rich quick. While social media rewards visibility, the body evolves into the most easily marketable element of this cycle.
The Conversion of Privacy into Capital
While the user becomes both the producer and the product, the body turns into content, privacy into capital, and the follower into a customer. Ways of earning that require labor and patience are devalued.
The Importance of Legal and Moral Measures
The extent of the issue demonstrates that conducting the debate solely within the limits of personal choices is insufficient. Alongside restricting access, robust moral education is required.
