Among the most prominent of these behaviors that have emerged from this development is a phenomenon recently known as (low content), which is almost destroying the family environment and societal values, and has affected the individual and threatened the entity of the family and society, and sought to tamper with freedom of thought and belief as a result of these behaviors affecting principles, values ​​and moral customs due to the deviant and bad use of social networking sites, and due to the lack of advanced legislative and judicial confrontations that are constantly updated, and judicial means that confront these deviant behaviors that are committed in cyberspace that violate Sharia and the law.

Therefore, there is an urgent need for comprehensive strategic frameworks to address the low content to protect society from this epidemic, and the necessary judicial means with the absolute expansion of the methods used by the judiciary to combat and prevent this type of behavior. Accordingly, light will be shed according to the above-mentioned data to identify this term (low content) and clarify the legal and legitimate foundations to limit this phenomenon until we reach the search for the judicial means followed by the judiciary in confronting low content through the tools followed, whether legislative or judicial, reaching the effect that protects society from this deviant phenomenon in order to preserve the Islamic identity and moral values.
