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.

Well still, one of the things that separates us from the lesser animals is a level of self-control such that we don't watch porn in public whether or not it is our own data connection.
You think Starbucks is bad? Try visiting a California public college library. You got motherfuckers shifting around while panting and openly kneading their dicks through their clothing, and you can see their toes curling because they are wearing socks with sandals; and you have an awful lot of those.
I don't know about other states, but in California's public colleges, it is tolerated and nobody does anything about it. I guess that is "progressive" behavior or something.
