AL ARABIYA
At least five pornographic websites are among Egypt’s 100 most
frequently visited online destinations this year, according to Alexa, a
division of Amazon.com that tracks online traffic patterns globally.
The
statistic proves particularly significant as Egyptian web surfers may
soon be stripped of all access to Internet pornography sites.
Egypt’s
Prosecutor General ordered the government’s ministries of
telecommunications, interior and information to begin enforcing a ban on online
porn last week.
The five most visited porn sites in
Egypt rank at numbers 15, 23, 29, 67, 83, with two X-rated sites
appearing in the country’s top 25 most-browsed sites, the Anaween Arabic
news website reported.
Similarly, there are seven pornographic
sites in Tunisia that appear among the top 100 most visited sites,
coming in at numbers 14, 16 and 20 and 49 60 and 93 and 97.
In Lebanon, the five most visited sites appear later down the list of 100, at
numbers 33, 34, 45 and 52 and 58.
Pornography
is not permitted throughout the Arab Muslim world, though previously in
Egypt, and some other nations, the state has not actively tried to
prevent access to online sites.
In Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, no
pornographic sites appear on the list top 100 most-visited sites due to a
filtering policy which block the sites, as is the case in most
countries in the Gulf.
