Four out of the top 20 websites in 2018 were pornography sites. That’s 20% and that doesn’t even count the pornographic content that was viewed on other popular sites, such as Reddit or Instagram. Jim O’Day, Executive Director of Integrity Restored, digs deeper into the statistics and what they have to tell us about our […]
