Porn Around The World...And In America

This is an interesting sidebar to the current debate about 'net neutrality' and internet freedom. One of the big selling points of those whom favor it is outlawing online porn 'for the children'.

Of course, as we all know, it wouldn't stop there. The next targets would be sites that disseminate information or criticism not to the liking of the ruling class, which is why so many Democrat 'liberals' strongly favor this kind of censorship by diktat. And the UN, dominated by the Organization of Islamic Conference and the Muslim bloc is probably wetting its collective pants in excitement at the thought of censoring sites that offer any criticism of Islam.

The argument that regulating the net 'for the children' doesn't hold water either.

As any concerned parent knows, some intelligent monitoring along with a proper moral education goes a long way towards solving the problem when it comes to kids, and if you're unwilling to put in that effort there are numerous kinds of filtering software you can buy. Also, most internet providers make such filtering available if you request it by use of passwords for unrestricted access and there are even internet providers available who specialize in such filtering .

No, this is about more than pornography.

And speaking of porn, the above map shows how porn laws are administered around the world. Some interesting oddities:

In many parts of the Muslim world, viewing porn can cost you your life. Since it's illegal and not everyone owns a computer, many consumers favor internet cafes, and travelers report they come in two flavors - those set up so the screen is visible to others passing by and those where it is not.

Just as with homosexuals, there are Islamists who make a practice of tracking, targeting and killing those who indulge.

Want to be a porn actress in Australia? You'd better have at least a B cup. Oz bans small breasted porn actresses on the grounds it could promote pedophilia.

In Japan as in much of East Asia, anything goes, but genitalia and pubic hair are required to be pixelated.

And what about the land of the Free and the home of the brave?



This map shows the percentage of residents per state who own a paid online porn subscription. Mississippi, Utah and Alaska top the list...and I have to admit,I found the percentages for some of the states surprising.
