There’s a reason the porn ban didn’t work in India, we’re kinda obsessed with it! According to a survey done by Google, reported by Times of India, six of the top ten cities in the world keying in ‘porn’ on the search engine are in India. Leading the list are stud boys and stud girls from New Delhi, followed by Pune, Mumbai, Howrah, Unnao, Kuala Lumpur and Bangalore. The data also reflects perversions and fetishes people have, but many believe that a list like this can be misleading.
Cryptography expert Ajit Hatti, also a security researcher and co-founder of Null, India’s largest open security community, said that while the data is correct, it is not complete. According to him, there are countries like China, Russia and North Korea that do not use Google or have extremely limited usage. Then in countries like the United States and the United Kingdom, many use different search engines.
According to him, one of the most important reasons for the amount of Indian cities in this list is that most Indians have language barriers. People in developed nations, instead of searching for the word porn, directly go to a porn site. But many in India search for the word porn or sex and then click on the link that appears. This obviously reflects on the Google Trends List.
He does have a fair point, what do you think?
