Well, the methodology is definitely flawed – though I suspect it’s deliberate to draw attention to the problem.
Perhaps Opera is less “pervasive” than Britney Spears. That’s not to say Britney could do what Opera does. It’s to say that her cumulative impact, or Kobe’s impact, however devoid the message is of power, is more completely encoded into the mindscape.
The list sounds absolutely absurd…well, because it is. The list was manipulated by hackers from that website, if you look at the first letter of the first 21 person…the message is “marblecake, also the game”.
Here is a more detailed account of how they hacked it – http://musicmachinery.com/2009/04/15/inside-the-precision-hack/
One of the person that hacked Time’s list –
“Zombocom joked to one of his friends “it would be funny to troll Time.com and put us up as most influential, but since we are not explicitly on the list we’ll have to spell it out. ” His friend thought it was impossible. But two weeks later, “marblecake’ was indeed spelled out for all to see at the top of the Time.com poll.
So what is the significance of ‘marblecake’? Zombocom says: ” Marblecake was an irc channel where the “Message to Scientology” video originated. Many believe we are “dead” or only doing hugraids etc, so I thought it would also be a way of saying : we’re still around and we don’t just do only “moralfag” stuff .”
Well, if porn is the new tobacco they should put a sin tax on it. In this economy we could use the revenue. Tax the porn!
It’s true that it seems Myspace was a beta version of Facebook. Most of the people I know below 40 use Facebook and those above that age use Myspace. The older a person is the more likely they are to use Myspace.
To me, Myspace is clunky and not nearly as useful or easy to manage. Myspace is the 80s and Facebook is classic rock in that it never really goes away.
Just my two cents.
The key difference that I see between the two is that smoking is an option. It is not required for the procreation of life. Introducing chemical contaminants and drugs into one’s body via cigarettes/tobacco is completely optional. Though sex is optional, if everyone stopped having sex, life would eventually end.
Sex is a natural part of life, and between two consenting adults should never be outlawed.
Pornography is described as is the depiction of explicit sexual subject matter for the purpose of sexually exciting the viewer. Millions, if not BILLIONS, of people have safely used pornography to enhance their bedroom activities, and often time, as a result, their lives.
Think about all of the families out there that are unable to have children, and how pornography has helped them. Something as simple as the pornography used in the sperm bank to obtain sperm samples. Is this wrong? How much happiness has this simple fact brought to the world?
While I do not condone pornography for (or about) children, and I understand some adults have become addicted to pornography, just as some are addicted to food (another necessary part of life), I cannot even begin to comprehend the idea of a society without pornography.

Doing a search online for Christopher Poole, I came across the Wikipedia page that talked about his 4chan.org website. The article made specific mention as those here have also spoke of, that the Time magazine internet poll was falsely manipulated, either by hackers or by the enormous fanbase the 4chan website has. If a website with that large of a fanbase asks all its readers to go vote for them, and that causes the site to make the list, I really believe that is a testament to the site’s large influence.
It is very similar to Howard Stern, and his bid for governor of New York years ago. His enormous popularity and influence would have succeeded in him becoming governor, were it not for his dropping out of the race.
Oprah Winfrey is another person who has an enormous influence. She only needs to make a casual reference to something (e.g. a book) and it immediately tops the best seller list. This is the kind of influence that Time is talking about, and the fact this man made the list proves his influence.
Walt D in LV
P.S. Likewise, ANYONE else could recruit and/or request their fans/following to flock to the site to vote so that they may make the list.
Oh, and in response to Seattle Mom:
“Seattle Mom, on May 5th, 2009 at 3:36 pm Said:
Well, if porn is the new tobacco they should put a sin tax on it. In this economy we could use the revenue. Tax the porn!”
Most pornography nowadays is available for free, so it’s impossible, if not impractical to tax pornography. Even if you put a 5, 10, 20, or 100% tax on it. 100% of zero is still zero.

A society without pornography would have no shortage of babies. It would, however, have fewer marriages destroyed and fewer women exploited. How much happiness would that bring to the world?
Anything that has the potential to be toxically addictive needs intelligent filtering.
Pornography is such a loaded action in so many ways that tobacco is/was not, but the potential destructive potential is so much more IMHO
We are aware of the sites which encourage friendship, dating services and more. All of these sites would require some personal information such name, address, birthdays and more enable to avail of membership. The personal information will come in handy for other people who have something on their minds but not friendship. The alarming news about some kids getting kidnapped by a stranger seems to be an ordinary scenario. Little do we know that we can prevent it with some internet safety tips for children. You can have some tips below to say to your children.
I agree with Alan, and cannot believe the crap written by Walt in LV- but then, you do live in sin city so maybe you have become immune to the ill effects these things have on society?? I am not usually this bold and I have never posted anything to a blog before, but my family has been DESTROYED by the effects of internet pornography, porn chat sites and so on. In my opinon, no good can come from porn- it expoits women at the highest level and ridiculously distorts male’s view of what is acceptable and normal when it comes to sex. LOVE is not involved with porn. And, Porn is physically destructive just as alcohol and drug addiction is. Sadly, statistics and experts will tell you that sexual addiction is harder to recover from than alcohol or drug addiction. People lose their jobs, marriages, and end up in jail because of the sex industry and its effects. When are we going to stand up as people and do what is right? Just because we live in America where there is freedom doesn’t make it RIGHT. We have a responsibility to our children and their future to put a stop to this. I will get off my soapbox now, but I hope more will come to realize how severe this is fight for our children and FAMILIES- a dying concept in today’s society sadly.
Poppycock…and I mean that to pornography! Having struggled with the guilt, condenmation and shame of this garbage for well over 2 decades I know it can and does wreck havoc on everyday life.
[While I do not condone pornography for (or about) children, and I understand some adults have become addicted to pornography, just as some are addicted to food (another necessary part of life), I cannot even begin to comprehend the idea of a society without pornography.]
A horrible argument, we need food, we do NOT need sex in order to survive. Yes, if we want the human race to continue then we get married and enjoy sexual relations with one and the only woman we are supposed to love, adore and satisfy.
Sir, you not being able to see society without porn is probably due to the fact that you may have an addiction yourself or it plays a pivotal role in your life somehow. I can say that when my Dad stopped smoking it was difficult but he broke through the addiction and has lived a healthier and more fulfilled life.
The decision I made to stop consciously look at porn everyday and think about it and allow it to control my life was the day I truly started to fight. It’s been an up-hill battle but I have brothers and sisters to help me along the way.
By His grace and for His glory alone,

If you need pornography in the bedroom than there is something wrong. Sex is meant to be between a husband and wife. That is what God intended. You are married and then you reproduce. If you think it’s safe to bring porn into a marriage than you have never suffered the effects of it. God never intended the marriage bed to be degraded like that. I pray that there will someday be a society without porn. How many marriages would be saved by that simple fact.
Walt D in LV … if you honestly expect people to believe that there is not huge revenue flowing through these channels, not just ad space dollars but actual subscription fees, you really are insulting the general populace by asking them to be as gullible as you yourself are.
As for the poll and the influence (or whatever portion of the poll you are trying say constitutes some type a “real” influence that should be counted, beyond the effects of the hacking), skewed polling techniques are standard advertising operating procedure, and can be manipulated and generated a lot of ways. If you honestly think that a more highly mobilized fan-base necessarily means a fan-base that is a larger percentage of the general populace (ie the persons being influenced), then you really are a sucker for advertising. Yes, anybody could swing the vote that way if they mobilized enough … but then not everybody will have that same motivation will they? A company making even banner-ad dollars, let alone subscriptions, will have much more incentive to drum up people to go vote than just about anybody else … greed is a great motivator and airtime/web-hits generate cash. anybody who tells you differently is selling something … and it looks like you bought it.

Porn is not required for the procreation of life, that is silly. The main difference between tobacco in the early 60s and porn now is that our society seems to be more aware of potentially addicting activities and, overall, this is a good thing. I think that the average person knows that porn addiction is real. In the 50s & 60s I dont think people really thought in these terms so much.
Some activities are just wrong in any amount (porn in my opinion) some may be OK in moderation (wine or the occasional cigar, again in my opinion) a good way to see if you are out of control, ask yourself this question; if everyone in the country consumed/patronized at your level where would the particular industry be? thriving or going bankrupt…just a thought.
I was laughing and shaking my head when I read Walt D’s post, because of the seemingly complete ignorance about this issue he is showing here. Porn is in fact very addictive, it’s destructive and it’s completely destroys the character in any person who watches it, even if it’s done in moderate amounts.
It’s destroys how a men looks at the other sex and the worst thing it’s intensifies the objectification mentality in general. Sad thing is that the p industry are constantly pushing harder and more extreme content on the market (there have to be some kind of limit, which I really hope they are about to reach soon), which in turn only makes the objectification of women even worse and more aggressive. Porn addiction also enhances isolation and depression in society as well, as p watching usually is a lonly and isolated act.
Hope this guy (Walt D in lv) will be able to get his head out of the sand someday, and see the reality as it is. Or, as already suggested, he might be addicted himself, and the addict in him unfortunately have taken over, making him blind for the truth…
Porn destroys lives and our socety in general, and I’m really hoping sometime in the future we’ll enjoy a p free society. Or at least strictly reduced.
Wow, what excellent responses. Walt D, please consider those responses.
Internet pornography is a growing aggressive cancer on families and relationships. The rapidity, anonymity and affordability make it a major threat to stable family life. Filtering is a key component of keeping this monster out of the house.
I’m writing about this now at my blog and filtering is one of the areas I will be discussing next week.

Bing (the commenter) those are all valid points. It’s simply a difference of degrees really, and all we wanted to do was inform parents who are manually monitoring their kid’s Internet use that there is a new site to watch out for. Also, Microsoft has at least acknowledged the problem and is working towards a fix:

I’m very disappointed that a commercial venture such as Internet Safety.com, which provides a product that I rely on for the welfar my children, feels the need to go politico and rip into the ACLU with such animosity and sarcasm. I could argue the merits of the work of the ACLU, but that’s not the point here. I think you as a company are better off not aligning yourself either with the right or the left, and that includes leaving off the attacks against the ACLU.
You say you “can’t tell you the number of times I have seen stories about people misusing libraries as their own personal adult theater.”
That’s where your credibility ends.
Why don’t you provide an actual number of actual incidents of people actually caught looking at X-rated material in the children’s section of a public library?
Citing story after vague story about a handful of incidents in a nation of 300 million people isn’t very persuasive. Actually, it’s propaganda.
I am not currently using your product. Can it do the following?
I obviously will have an admin who will be gatekeeper over adding and/or removing blocked content but can all users of the PC add content to be blocked? I see this as sort of a shared responsiblity by all to add inappropriate content.
You can always block more content no matter who you are. Administrators are the only ones that can remove blocked content.
I did not see this particular documentary, but have seen similar docs in the past from other networks. That seems to be the MO of the media … “we are going to make it appear that we care about erradicating these issues, but deep down, we just want to see how far we can push the envelope and this is a great excuse for us to show more skin and get away with it.”
It’s quite frustrating. I think these documentaries cause more people to stumble than actually help them. I know they have caused me to stumble in the past which is why I just avoid them altogether now.

This needs to be addressed more than once a year. There are so many dangers online that could result in death.
This isn’t rocket science but I see it all the time. Parents if you want to see your student bypass many painful moments in adolescence do two things with their phones. First disable the picture mail, sexting has hit every school and every grade. Secondly have the internet completely shut off their cellphones. Not just the subscribed part but also the ability to pick up wi-fi. As a parent I couldnt figure out if they had been spammed with it or been looking at it ,could you? Yes you will not be popular but parenting isn’t about being popular its about adults making the best decisions for their students. You pay the bill so be a part deciding what goes on with the device. We live in a rural town of 4,000 and this problem is rampant.
“But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.” – James 1:14-15
Don’t be decieved…it’s not a mental disorder, it’s sin. Deal with your sin, repent before a holy God, trust in Christ and he will lift your burden and take away your desire. Maybe not overnight, but He will do it.
How exactly does overnight charging help? It might keep the teens away from their phones for a short time, but they have more then enough at school to make up for it. The only reason I can see such an idea being of use would be by providing an excuse for some rummaging around it’s files.
I also would like to point out that just about any teenager who has parents friending their social network profile will soon catch on to the idea of multible profiles… one respectable sham for the parents, and one real profile they don’t know about.
An interesting theory, but something just feels wrong. If what he said were true, I would expect to see far more pedophiles.
I think I might have a way to test it though. The research is beyond me, so I can’t do this, but it occurs to me that if internet porn is indeed creating the perfect environment to create pedophiles there should be evidence in age distribution of offenders – they should be mostly in their early to mid twenties, people who spent their sexually-formulative teenage years online with maximum exposure to online pornography.
I also have my doubts about just how easy child porn is to find – I’ve always assumed that it’s got to be fairly hidden, simply because any advertised too openly would quickly attract the attention of law enforcement. But, for obvious reasons, I’m not going to look for it myself and find out with any certinty.
Great article. We have recently formed a not for profit called SA Lifeline that focuses on Sexual / Pornography addiction education and instruction. As part of our launch we have teamed with a leading Neurologist that have done an extensive amount of research on the topic. He also completed a book about pornography addiction that dives into its impact on the brain. Please take a look at the write up on the book and let us know you think. 100% of the proceeds from the book are going to spread this message. To date we have given away over 500 books to local religious, civic, and business leaders in our immediate community.

Microsoft Bing would be the closest competitor of Google. but i still use Google because it shows more relevant search results on the serp.
It would be great to have some of the time restrictions as well. We have it set for internet to be “off” after midnight; but this doesn’t stop a young user from “chatting” or using mail well into the wee hours, long after everyone else is in bed asleep. I know these can be manually switched off; but having that automated feature on the desktop app has been very helpful in limiting hours of usage.
i have been evaluating the search results of Microsoft Bing compared to Google and they are comparable. Bing gives almost the same relevant search results just like Google.
yes, this setting can be very helpful in maintaining privacy in the Facebook community but the first and foremost rule must be: not to add strangers especially for reasons like number of friends and game pals. if you are put in a position wherein declining a friend request is a matter of life and death, you can always delete them after.

I think that now we can define this generation geek largely influenced by social networks. Many Internet users have registered at least one social network that is personal (Facebook), professional (MySpace) and microblogging (Twitter), photo sharing, social publishing and so on.

I just have to say that this is amazing gesture, and an amusingly random article for me to stumble across. I was linked to your site by the Rick and Bubba Show and I saw this article. Although I’m currently living in South Carolina, my wife is from Russellville and her family still lives there. Great work guys!
Sounds good, but safe eyes mobile uses its own browser. Whats to stop anyone using safari instead? that would completely bypass the safe eyes filter surely?
Right, which is why everyone needs to restrict Safari using the restrictions under the general settings on your iPhone/iPod touch. Also, since there are other browsers that you can download besides Safari, parents should also restrict the app store so that their kids don’t download a browser to get around Safe Eyes Mobile.
Of course, the main problem with this approach it that the child can actually format the phone, allowing him to just reinstall all programs and circumvent any parental controls, as a format and a re-sync doesn’t sync settings, only music/video. Therefore, you must prohibit access to iTunes on the computer itself, which poses problems, since it removes that main syncing option for the iPhone.
Thanks Nailo. This is of course the reason that technology can never completely replace parenting, and why we recommend that all our customers talk about Internet Safety as a family before installing our filters. What Nailo describes is basically a “nuclear option” which would wipe out all apps downloaded on the iPhone, and is more a problem with Apple’s implementation of parental controls as it affects all settings as well. This is a perfect example of why good parenting must accompany good technology. Neither work very well on their own. Periodically check your kids iPhone to make sure that they haven’t reformatted.

Re the question: why do so many people use internet porn when they don’t approve? Porn IS an addictive activity, and addicts are often split between being an addict and doing the things that this/her addiction wants/drives them to do, and a deeper, I would suggest HIGHER part of their being which knows that this addictive activity (booze, drugs, porn, gambling) is harming them. Porn’s more subtle in the sense that unlike drink of drugs it’s not obviously physically harmful, and unlike gambling it doesn’t cost much, if anything. Because of this it’s harder to combat. There’s no doubt in my mind that porn is possibly the worst type of addiction because it profoundly degrades the inner feeling of which sexuality is a part, and influences young men in particular to view girls and women as objects to be manipulated according to the most recent porn activity they watched.
