Starbucks & McDonalds Collaborate to Block Porn
 

So is this going to be a new trend pushed by this anti pornography group? Will it affect business?

---

Anti-pornography groups have succeeded in their efforts to get Starbucks and McDonald's to block porn on the chains' Wi-Fi networks.
Earlier this year McDonald's (MCD) responded by putting filters in place at most of its U.S. restaurants, a change that was disclosed this week. The company had already had the filtering in place at its U.K. restaurants.

"McDonald's is committed to providing a safe environment for our customers," he said. "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."

The anti-porn groups Enough is Enough and the National Center on Sexual Exploitation then appealed to Starbucks to follow McDonald's lead. In response to questions from CNNMoney, Starbucks (SBUX) said Friday it's will do so the same thing at its company-owned stores around the globe as well.

Will they get anywhere seeing the general public's interest in pornography? I don't think so. The only thing you have to do when you are too big to fail is enjoy it while it lasts. Plus, fuck that shit food, and the awful agenda behind it.

That's what you get for eating at Mc D's and buying that overpriced Starbuck's homo latte double cumshot expresso.

No special sauce???WTF

What sucks is a lot of those block systems also rely on databases which are really inaccurate. When I see doctors at Cedar Sinai hospital, there usually is not much wait, but any time there is a long wait, I utilize the time surfing on my iPad and complaining to their IT dept about sites which should not be blocked.

Also, the idea that someone trapped in a hospital, away from their partner, can't view smut is just mean.

I appreciate Starbucks helping out the mom and pop coffeehouses though.

family restaurants & coffee shops banning porn, isn't it already?

no, it will not effect business :2 cents:
