    Moralists and social activists are calling for measures to    protect millions of juveniles on the internet following reports    of increased homemade pornography, with the actors using social    media platforms such as Facebook and WhatsApp as marketing    tools.  
    Across the region, there's increased appetite for nudity among    social media users which has given rise to a new lucrative    industry of homemade pornography.  
    The locally produced sex tapes especially in Kampala, Uganda    are being marketed through Facebook and their content supplied    through WhatsApp, a popular Smartphone application with    payments made through mobile money.  
    Lucrative industry:  
    Porn agents are permanently on the lookout for popular posts    made especially by celebrities whose activities attract a huge    number of comments.  
    In the comments' thread, the agents post their own sexually    enticing notices about locally made sex tapes. These notices    feature nude pictures of mostly attractive young women and    provide mobile phone numbers to be contacted by those    interested in the tapes.  
    For slightly over sh10,000 (about Rwf2,500), one receives    several short sex clips featuring greasy sexual content with    tips from a sex expert on how to muster some of the skills in    the video.  
    Recently, a journalist with a Ugandan based TV station    interviewed one of the people behind the industry who claimed    the videos are aimed at improving people's sex skills but not    to erode morals. She added that they advise their clients to    keep the videos out of reach of minors.  
    In Rwanda, the practice takes a new twist. There are several    websites including Kigali Hits and Rwanda Paparazzi.net that    have become popular among Kigali netizens for posting nude    pictures of young attractive women.
