Wonder what the unsanitised list would look like.

Found an article- At any one time over the last 12 months the lowest percentage of porn traffic was 4% in Australia- this was going through the equinix exchange which is the primary for Australia I believe

Also as an aside -at one point back in 2013 40% of Internet pages were estimated to be porn

[jono]

Oh - and the highest was 22%

I recall a QI episode which said that porn was only 1% of the internet.

Of course, it may depend on your definition of porn (anything ranging from hardcore to nipple slips). Not that I know what either of those are.

I'd say it's way more than 1% but I think with sites like 4chan & sub Reddits, plus snapchat & other image messaging services it's hard to really narrow it down.
