A genuinely awkward question

<p>I'd rather not share too much information about myself, but I was just wondering (and please let me know if this is inappropriate for this website) but what would the pornography policy be at USC: Columbia? Like, to what extent is my private viewing on the student network acceptable?</p>

<p>aaahahahaha. Ask USC and see what happens.</p>

<p>Well, I’m quite sorry, but I’m asking here to avoid having to do that. As I said earlier, it’s more than a bit awkward, which is why I’m asking anonymously.</p>

<p>Well, it’s legal to watch if you’re 18+, so if you’re at least 18 then watch to your heart’s content.</p>

<p>I’m guessing you have a peculiar addiction to porn? Well its legal if your 18 as long as its done in privacy. As long as your not downloading illegal software or media, you should be fine</p>

<p>USC tech support site might have a use policy you can check. If you are using USC’s network you would have to abide by their policies and restrictions.</p>

<p>@scmom12 I’ve viewed their internet use policy and can’t find anything explicitly barring those types of materials. From what I can see, as long as a student remains within the law, the material is acceptable. I only asked because I received conflicting stories from students who were working for the school as orientation specialists last year.</p>

<p>As long as you’re 18 and not watching animal or child porn, you’re fine. It’s legal.</p>

<p>Might want to consider your roommates when logging on, however.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot everyone! That clears it up. In the event that it is some sort of infringement (I’m never 100% confident in anything) I’m sure that the penalty will be nothing more than a warning for first time offenses. Bye everyone!</p>
