Starbucks says it'll block porn on its public Wi-Fi next year

For years, Starbucks has caught flak for not preventing its customers from watching porn on its in-store Wi-Fi. Now the coffee retailer says that next year it will introduce a filter that prevents customers from viewing porn and other explicit material in stores, as first reported by Business Insider.

[...] This week, Enough Is Enough CEO Donna Rice Hughes said Starbucks had failed to protect its customers and follow through with its plan to block explicit content. "By breaking its commitment, Starbucks is keeping the doors wide open for convicted sex offenders and others to fly under the radar from law enforcement and use free, public Wi-Fi services to access illegal child porn and hard-core pornography," she said.

A petition from Enough Is Enough said that public Wi-Fi networks "are attracting pedophiles and sex offenders" and put children at risk.

    hi!
    i am from the organization for the well-being of over-worked parents.
    i would like to propose a license for verified parents with young children so that they can legally
    peruse so-called "child porn" (CP).
    There's nothing as efficient to getting those unruly brats to brush their teeth, eat their green peas and go to bed, then
    sitting them infront of a screen showing CP and telling them that they will get to know the man in the movie
    rather sooner then later if they don't behave.

    yours truly
    Concerned overworked parent
