Abstract
Currently, the virtual space is a new platform that has facilitated many things in such a way that in some cases the use of the facilities of this space for interpersonal and group communication is inevitable and has caused continuous interactions with this tool. Just as living in the real world is subject to regulations, presence in the virtual arena also creates rights and duties. Women, as a part of the society, are the users or the audience of data in the cyberspace, and sometimes they play the role of criminals or victims due to the preparation, production and publication of content that violates public modesty and good morals. This research tries to investigate pornography on Instagram with a gender analysis. The findings show that the content of Iranian and Persian pornography is easily available to the users of this platform. Analyzing the visual and textual content of the published posts and examining the comments of users, it is found that the customary encounter with wrong behavior has taken place, but it seems that the legal treatment and punishment of the perpetrators have not been sufficiently reflected and the necessary deterrence has not been created in this context. Therefore, it is necessary to guarantee a stronger enforcement in criminalization and punishment.
