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.

That was my point. Starbucks doesn't care about the opinions of people who don't buy Starbucks.

Ahh, I see now
(I needed that espresso. One at the kiosk in the train station, while waiting for my ride. Is good to live in Melbourne [cnn.com], you'll be... ummm... hard pressed [sbs.com.au] to find a mediocre coffee).
You mean that noisy puritan org is buying from Starbucks? No wonder they are so nasty.
