Starbucks and McDonald's Announce Porn Blocks On Their Wi-Fi Networks (cnn.com)

An anonymous reader quotes a report from CNN Money: Anti-pornography groups have succeeded in their efforts to get Starbucks and McDonald's to block porn on the chains' Wi-Fi networks..."We had not heard from our customers that this was an issue, but we saw an opportunity that is consistent with our goal of providing an enjoyable experience for families," McDonald's said in a statement... Starbucks said Friday it's will do so the same thing at its company-owned stores around the globe as well. "Once we determine that our customers can access our free Wi-Fi in a way that also doesn't involuntarily block unintended content, we will implement this in our stores," said a Starbucks spokesperson. "In the meantime, we reserve the right to stop any behavior that interferes with our customer experience, including what is accessed on our free Wi-Fi..."
Meanwhile, this week, the Republican Party officially added the "public health crisis" of porn to its platform.

This policy is a bit premature

Because of the Trump. With all his flaws and imperfections, I am sure he will opine and will call out this newly invented health hazard as bullshit. Keep in mind Starbucks and McDonalds, as officially nonpolitical they are, are clearly favoring democractic/so called liberal values.

I would love mrs Clinton to opine on the subject:

Bill: "Hillary, is porn a health hazard or no"?
Hillary:"Once I am in the White House, you will be under house arrest. Porn will be the only thing that you will have. Now shut up, switch your hands from your d**k to the phone, and make 25 more calls today to our donors".

So you want to go threw all that extra work to see porn in a public space? You sick bastard.
Actually that would be a benifit where if you actually left your last visit site a porn location. When you start your device you get a blocked page vs whatever fetish you fashioned.
