Hard luck: Starbucks to block patrons from watching porn on WiFi

I was just mad last year to discover that you were allowed to watch the porn but Jennie at the store on 3rd gets mad when you unzip..

Please know I'm kidding here.
 
If it's my coffee shop, it's just a case of "I don't want to have to deal with other customers who got all bent out of shape because of it", therefore I find that people watching porn on their laptops in my shop are being disruptive.

If the people who normally get bent out of shape by stuff like that get bent out of shape because a couple of black guys are sitting in a booth, I'll boot the bent out of shape people out instead.

I say no, I say that policed means power has maintained order. Mega Corps such has Starbucks are entities of power.

I would agree with you if Starbucks a mega Corp went to a small town and bought or created the internet for the area and then blocked content but this is inside their private business it's not policed it's a business decision.

Starbucks will reportedly no longer allow patrons to watch porn on their free WiFi from 2019, following pressure from an anti-pornography activist group that accused the company of facilitating illegal and unsavory viewing.

The nonprofit internet safety organization Enough is Enough (EIE) slammed the coffee chain for “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,” said CEO Donna Rice Hughes in a statement.
========================================
We're in trouble when one minority group starts dictating the lifestyle of everyone else. Prohibition in this country is a sordid example. But this could be a business opportunity for clever entrepreneurs: something like 'Porniterias' which may or may not serve coffee with their unrestricted WiFi.
