People are searching for Pokemon Go more than porn on Google lately
Just as death is a permanent state in life, porn has been a permanent feature of the Internet since it evolved. It was so much a part of it that porn happened to be the second most searched term after God on Google search. However, the new game recently released by Nintendo and Niantic, Pokemon Go, has surpassed porn in Google search.
Nintendo's Pokemon Go has already surpassed Facebook, Twitter and Snapchat in terms of time spent by users and has now broken the internet's all-time record in Google search. Pokemon Go, which is an augmented reality game, has now also beaten Google's search terms for "porn.".
The data is available from the Google Trends website, which tracks how frequently queries are made to the search engine, allowing visitors to compare the popularity of multiple search terms.
Searches for the game began to peak last Wednesday after the game was released in Australia and New Zealand and increased even more when it was released in the US late last week.
According to Google Trends data, searches for the game surpassed those for porn by 33% worldwide on Monday. However, now that Pokemon Go is slowly rolling out to other parts of the world, including a pan-European rollout, searches for the term are sure to decline.
