Greetings, reading that UK is starting filtering porn of any internet connection by default as a massive censorship action http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2013-12/13/bt-automatic-porn-filters i've been thinking about the cost of that for the porn industry
Just looking at TrafficJunky, an aggregator of Youporn, PornTube and many other popular porn websites, they display in UK 87 millions impression a day http://marketplace.trafficjunky.net/networks . They will loose $1.566.000 of earning each year considering an average cost of $0.05 CPM (cost per thousands impressions). I am wondering if, considering the losses that the internet porn industry is going to suffer, this would not stimoulate them to invest on anticircumventions techniques and technologies. Somehow the technological interests of the porn industry would partialy allign itself to the digital human rights environment working on anticensorship projects. Will they react proactively or will the just consider the "censored countries" as markets not to be further developed ? Fabio -- Liberationtech is public & archives are searchable on Google.
