Companies Censor Porn? Shocking
from the who-would-have-thunk-it? dept
The folks over at Datamonitor are apparently desparate for research topics because they wasted an entire report determining that the most censored material online is porn. As the Register points out, this is a "shocking" discovery. Who would have possibly predicted that companies would filter out porn more than any other content (the Register would have picked knitting material as the most likely to be censored)? Thank goodness the folks over at Datamonitor checked it out for everyone. They also point out that in companies that simply post surfing policies forbidding the viewing of porn, many employees (gasp!) may be violating those policies. Who says these research firms don't produce anything useful?
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
