@FireMadeFlesh The reason the U.S. has so many more than most everyone else is because our government regulates what can and cannot be seen more than any other nation, worldwide. Consider that, for broadband, North Korea, blocks all but 30 websites that exclude nearly everything, except propaganda specifically to influence their population’s opinion of their government, does not regulate anywhere near the extent that the U.S. does.
And it isn’t just child pornography that runs up those numbers into the stratosphere; it’s all about the consent they gave themselves when they passed the laws making it okay to listen in on any conversation they deem a “threat” to “national security” (where have I heard that before?). It doesn’t apply only to ham radio operators and all phone conversations. It’s the internet, too…..right down to every post on every social forum in existence. Now…...what was I saying about Nancy Pelosi a few weeks ago? Oh, that’s right. I remember now. Hey, Big Brother – if you’re reading this…..I meant every word of it.
