Pakistan's Peculiar Pornography Tastes - anothger effort to malign us
Wahaj us Siraj/MGMT
These statistics are not correct and very misleading indeed. We’ve done detailed traffic analysis today and tried various models on Google Trends and Google Insights. Pornographic webs sites hardly count for any traffic in forty top most accessed sites from Pakistan.
Just to give you one examples, go to http://www.google.com/insights/search/# and put the key words - fiber optics - set the filters on right hand side of the search bar to - worldwide - and - last 12 months – and – all categories. You’d see Pakistan on the top! It’s amusing to Pakistanis being Number One on searching fiber optics. Quite honestly not many people know even the name of fiber optics outside scientific and tech community. You can still do so many other generic searches and see the results.
The bottom line is that these figures are not correct and grossly messed up. There’s some strange algorithm being carried out at Google and they’re not doing the geographical identification correctly based on the IP address. I’ve spoken to Badar Khushnood, Google’s Country Manager for Pakistan and even he didn’t have explanation for some of the questions that we had.
Foxnews can do any kind of story against Pakistan, that’s what they do for living. But sad part is local media carrying the same story (just cut and paste) in headlines without doing any homework or research. They have thus ridiculed their own homeland and countrymen in front of the whole world.
We’d be doing a press conference tomorrow, Friday, from the Internet Industry at 3:00 pm, our (Micronet/Nayatel) Blue Area Office (GD Arcade), Islamabad and would demonstrate all the facts in front of the media using Google Insight and Google Trends. Pakistan has enough of slander by the international community but we should be wise enough to broadcast our point of view with full force and justification.
Pakistan zindabad…..Wahaj us Siraj/ISPAK
Yes, Western media might have (mis)used this information to their purpose but the information is indeed correct. Pakistan has been on the top for a while on a number of such searches.
Anyone can access these statistics through Google Trends. For example, here is a link to an explicit search mentioned in the article that puts Pakistan at the top in the region-wise list.

No. 1 Nation in Sexy Web Searches? Call it Pornistan ..
Look at the title suggested by the champions of porn (infact they treat it as
an Industry) ... Simply hilarious... Moreover, the article doesn't shows any
link to so called the Google Statistics... Why .. ? ...The article shows no
data that supports the big statements made by the writer.. so again to me its
nothing but an loser's attempt to disgrace Islam and Pakistan. It is so
disgusting to distort facts and like civilized western citizens, we denounce
this.
No hard feelings but there is nothing to be amused about it rather the Internet
community of the country should strongly condemn this at all platforms.

Here is an interesting story from Time.com.
I wonder that with so little, weary, meager and really intermittent Internet access, and not very large number of Internet users, how could we achieve this award... Any ways, we won this ;)

analysis is done it should be carried out by keeping all sort of
traffic flows in mind and not only web or web (port 80) search.
Torrents, ptp traffic, pirated porn movies business - rapid share etc
are bigger than the web traffic itself when it comes to total traffic
flows toward any economy. Porn is still the biggest traffic over
internet.
80 percent of the internet users from pakistan are in between the age
of 18 and 27 I believe. And same is the case more or less in
gulf/middle east - where every one having an internet connection opt
for vpn connections to bypass the proxies . what's the biggest reason
? To access porn.
I don't know whether we are no. 1 or 100 but porn is a major
contributor in the in coming traffic.

As for Google search results, they're probably accurate, but it's like saying my site ranks no.1 for "bald sheep from mars" or "yawning for beginners". Very few people are likely to search for those terms.
The article seems designed to provoke and generate controversy. That's what tabloids thrive on and Fox News is one of the biggest.

If you change Region to City, I would expect a few Pakistani cities to show up. In fact no Pakistani or even Vietnamese city shows up. New Delhi is actually #1 here.

Wahaj Bhaie,
Your effort to bring the case to attention is highly commendable.
I seriously believe that THOSE who matter or at positions to rasie voice
even know the meaning of PORN let alone how to check out meaning on a paper
dictionary.
We (as nation Pakistan) are already under radar for Degree Scams., any day
goes by when foreign schools will start to decline admissions in Post
Graduate curriculams,
We only can wince and cry at state of nepotism in our country,
Keep it up

AT&T, PTCL, Etisalat, Indian Air, PIA etc. results would be eye
opening. Actually it is not about a nation's fault it is simply about
the words you put-in for google's insight and thats it. For example
just change the word sex with porn you will not find Pakistan
anywhere........ cheers !

What purpose did a temporary block of facebook achieve except making us seem like emotional and sentimental? Why can't we be a tolerant nation that knows the truth about its own identity and have peace and comfort in that? Anyone who knows the true identity of our nation knows that this search report is false. Yes its a propaganda, yes its derogatory cause it meant for that purpose, but if we point fingers at this small issue then they will make 1000 such issues and promote it. Let's treat this issue exactly the way its meant to be treated. Let's not stoop to Fox News channel mentality and be Pakistanis instead!

Did ISPAK issue a press release or can you have someone update us about the news conference and its outcome? More specifically, did Badar mention if Google will take steps to verify this (and hopefully post a resolution?).

Why can't our media people interview Ann Paterson here and grill her of the wrong doings of their media and demand an apology. When their own society is emanating all the filth through their $10 Bn worth Adult industry in the world how can they mock others and call by their country by such derogatory names.
We don't have an option of sticing our heads in the ground and letting a free go at mocking at us.
Let's make efforts to join force between the civil society and the media to fight this out.

Adnan

Google dismisses 'Pornistan' Pakistan claim
http://news.oneindia.in/2010/07/17/googledismisses-pornistan-pakistanclaim.htmlIslamabad,
July 17 (ANI): Google has officially denied the accuracy
of its search trends that claimed Pakistan is the world's leader in
online searches for pornographic material.
Eitesam Ahmad
attitude towards all the misleading information being spread in the
western media about Pakistan and Islam. We must beleive in ourselves,
that we are not the "One" as depicted on the western media. We must do
proper home work, and logical research on all the information we get
through these sources before spreading it to the masses. The same kind
of wisdom is required in our Manual of Life "The Quran".
We are all with you Wahaj sb! May Allah(SWT) bless you with
everlasting Guidance, Happiness and Success.
Pakistan Zindabad!
Regards
Eitesam Ahmad Khan

analysis of the issue & put forward realistic solutions. [ Protecting
ourselves in Cyberspace ]
http://groups.google.com/group/telecom-grid-pakistan/browse_thread/thread/a0ea609dfed8df9b/5a7d337a3e157e19?lnk=gst&q=+Protecting+ourselves+in+Cyberspace+#5a7d337a3e157e19
Since no one heeded to it, this was bound to happen. I really wonder
why our nation is so slow in 'acting' upon suggestions & so quick in
'reacting' to western media.
Cyberspace doesnt only pose threats like porn, the threats &
widespread & realistic to our Pakistani community.
A few days ago, I had a discussion with a consultant & he said,
""Well Pakistan has a huge proportion on youth, almost 50% of
population is in the age boundary 18-40. Unless protected, this mass
workforce will either destroy, or end up doing slavery in western
countries".
This is the summary of threats posed to Pakistan in cyberspace.

Google officially denied the accuracy of its search trends that declared Pakistan as the top nation searching for illicit material on the internet, reported Dawn News.
In an email sent to dawn.com, Therese Lim of Google’ communications and Public Affairs Southeast Asia team said,
“We do our best to provide accurate data and to provide insights into broad search patterns, but the results for a given query, such as those reported in this story from Pakistan, may contain inaccuracies because the sample size is too small for the results to be statistically sound.”
Internet Service Provider Association of Pakistan has also declared statistics regarding pornography in Pakistan as flawed.
Earlier, ProPakistani had published a detailed report, incorporated by Google Data, to show that Pakistan isn’t even in top 10 countries for porn search, leave alone the top slot.
Last week FoxNews had produced a report alleging Pakistan to be number one nation for porn search.
