Mashable reports on The State of Mobile Video:
Our video consumption tends to peak around 10 p.m., at which point bandwidth takes a nosedive and stalling cripples our viewing experience.
In other words, we get the worst possible experience exactly when we want most to have a good experience.
[…] the stats on adult content; four of the top 10 video sites accessed from mobile phones contain only adult content. So much for “freedom from porn.”
This proves that eradicating porn would have an obvious benefit: better mobile bandwidth. Of course, there are many other ways to improve mobile bandwidth performance, so calling for an end to porn based on this finding doesn’t make a lot of sense.
What’s noteworthy is that this is exactly how anti-porn activists justify their “Stop Porn Culture” arguments: since porn is de-facto sex education for young people due to its prevalence, we should eradicate porn. Arguments in favor of comprehensive sex education are too rarely considered as an alternative.
Anti-porn activists’ routine failure to advocate for sex education is a tacit acknowledgement: anti-porn is pro-censorship. Censorship is not protection. Only education is.
