Lots More Porn Online - Some Of Which People Are Looking At Voluntarily
from the amazing dept
Websense, a company that makes a living trying to sell more filters to companies to get their employees to stop looking at porn, has come out with a new study saying there's a hell of a lot more porn online than there was 4 years ago. They also say that much of the porn that people view is accidental as they're tricked or forced into going to certain sites (which, of course, is why they think you should get their filters). However, a representative for some porn sites is pissed off about the study, saying it's unfair to say that the whole industry is tricking people into viewing their sites. He wants people to know that there are some people out there (really!) who actually view porn by choice.
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
