Read all about it. Washington Post reports on a study by people who have no idea how internet technology works if it isn't run a corporation, and imposes culturally-specific judgements on internet use by people in other cultures, with different ethical frameworks. Honestly, this study could have been titled 'researchers shocked to find dodgy stuff on dodgy little websites':
