IT’S really not worrying that porn websites have information about users’ whereabouts and habits, according to everyone.
As the website Pornhub released statistics about user habits and which towns like ‘big naturals’, everyone said that’s fine because they don’t even know what any of that stuff is.
37-year-old Tom Booker said: “Pornhub? What’s that? A pornographic website?
“Certainly that’s not something that would interest me. I only ever look at cycling websites after my wife is in bed. Because cycling is my hobby.
“I’m just curious though, how specific is this data. I mean, does it relate to specific addresses, like for example saying a hypothetical man in a hypothetical house is into Asian girls in air hostess uniforms?
“Because in the wrong hands that information could really make that hypothetical person’s life quite awkward.”
Plumber Roy Hobbs said: “So when people look at these so-called ‘porno’ websites they know where you’re from, what you’re looking at and how long you’re looking at it for?
“That’s good. It must be really useful for their business to have a record of all that stuff.
“But just out of interest, how long do they keep that stuff for? Does it get wiped after six months?
“Are they legally prevented from revealing anything to a wife or employer? Also I’ve got a Mac, could the webcam be recording me?
“I mean none of that would affect me anyway. I’m just interested how websites work.”
