The Economist reports that according to Hitwise, people are increasingly getting their daily allowance of porn via social networking.
The online pornography industry is estimated to be worth about $1 billion, and counts for about 13% of website visits in America (compared to search engines, which account for 7%).
I have been saying this for a long time. Seeing photos of the girl/guy next door on Myspace is just as, if not more appealing than the staged photos and videos for a growing percentage of the online population.
Myspace has at least a dozen people removing inappropriate photos all day long. Looks like they aren’t doing a very good job, which is bad news for the porn industry.
