Britain is not in the EU.

If we include Britain, there would be 2 websits in the top 100. A Hungarian porn website and bbc.com

> There is only one European website in the top 100 websites

spotify.com is swedish, and booking.com is the netherlands. Both of those are part of the EU, are in the top 100, and are not porn websites.

There are more I'm sure, but I know those off-hand.

Can you link to a list that has these two in the top 100 websites worldwide?

Both are not on Wikipedias list of most visited websites:

I used the alexa top 1m, since when someone says "top website", that's what I assume is being referred to: http://s3.amazonaws.com/alexa-static/top-1m.csv.zip

Maybe that's stale and there's other preferred sources now.....

But you linked a "top 50" list, which seems obviously useless to make the claim you're making.

Hungarian? I assume you mean Czech (xvideos)? And xnxx (not sure if they're related). There's also a Cyprus based site (xhamster) although I suspect they have substantial operations in not-Cyprus.

You said Europe (I think, can't read your comment anymore), and the UK is very much part of that.

Europe != EU

Britain is in Europe but not the EU.

I just browsed that list and it was hilarious that most of the EU sites were google/amazon country sites. But that list is from 2019.
