Throughout the Arab Muslim world, pornography is not permitted, though in Egypt and some other places the government has not actively tried to prevent access to online sites. The state prosecutor, Abdel Maguid Mahmoud, came out in support of an online ban, saying such websites are "inconsistent with the values and traditions of the Egyptian people and the higher interests of the state." Since Egypt's revolution last year, Islamist groups have dominated elections and have become increasingly vocal on issues of morality. However, some Egyptians said that the latest move could lead to increased online censorship in other areas. Mona Eltahawy, an Egyptian-American activist, sent a tweet saying "I'm not arguing w anyone about porn but know this: "ban" porn sites today, ban your sites tomorrow. #Egypt". An Egyptian court said in 2009 that Internet pornography should be banned, but the government did not act on the ruling.

- Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
- The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
- The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).
Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
