80% of blogs contain “offensive” content
A new survey from Scansafe has found that 80% of blogs contain “offensive” content, ranging from “adult language” to pornographic images.
In a report at Ars Technia, ScanSafe says that it discovered the “offensive” nature of blogs by analyzing more than 7 billion web requests coming from their corporate customers.
Further, 6% of blogs were also said to contain some sort of malware.
Now I know that MySpace blogs aren’t pretty, but does bad layout and bright graphics make for offensive content, or is it just that ScanSafe’s Corporate customers have a predilection for porn?
Apparently, any blog that contains the F word is considered offensive by Scansafe, which pretty much means this blog, along with every over blog I read would be marked as offensive, at least at one point in time. I suppose it could be worse, they could find terms such as “freedom online” and “surveys are stupid” offensive as well

Since must of the blogs I read are somehow related to computers and the Internet, I may just never see them. Still, this is a fairly high percentage. I can understand the 6% for malware, but this seems like it would be primarily those spam blogs that are set up in a couple of seconds.
