That should free up 90% of bandwidth in Nepal. The reason for the ban is supposedly "stopping sexual violence". One can blame easily porn for a lot of problem but sexual violence is not one of them. More like women having 2nd class status in Hindu dominated Nepal.

What’s that old joke?

If all the porn disappeared from the internet, the entire internet would consist of one website called “bringbacktheporn.com” lol

Nepal is the source of over 99% of usage of the search phrase “abominable snowman nude”.

25,000 is a drop in the bucket for porn sites on the Internet.

One of these days porn really does need to be removed from the Internet. Good for Nepal taking some steps in that direction.

It takes very little effort to defeat internet porn blocks. I’m sure Nepalese fappers will find a way.

One of these days I need to bang Taylor Swift. The hot Taylor Swift of 2014. Not the chubby, Democrat-supporting Taylor Swift of today.

Dream on...

Censorship sucks.

All of it. Everywhere, of anything.

Porn drives much of technology. A large percentage of early adopters of VCRs were porn consumers who didn’t want to go to sleazy movie theaters to watch porn.
