I guess people who are profusely sweating inside an air conditioned Starbucks is porn surfing especially when they're sited for an hour. Starbucks in my experience tend to crank up their AC's.

TheVerge reports that Starbucks is tired of you watching porn on their Free Wi-Fi. lmfao 

 

Starbucks has been pressured into blocking all types of porn after other companies and consumers have pushed for Starbucks to stop people watching illegal content.

 

Whilst Starbucks claims they never allowed people to watch illegal content they will soon be perfectly happy blocking all types of porn regardless of if it's illegal.

 

Starbucks has said they will introduce this to their US locations in 2019.

 

This move follows what McDonald's have done in the US as well.

 

 

At the end of the day it is their Free Wi-Fi so they can do what they want with it although personally I'd like for them to just stop offering free Wi-Fi cos people should not be using unsecured Wi-Fi in this day and age. I feel like using free Wi-Fi is the equivalent of walking down the street but everybody has X-Ray glasses (of sorts) so they can see right through your clothes.

This only works until someone gets smart enough to use a VPN.

They weren't already blocking porn? Crazy.

That's like the first thing I'd block on a free wifi network... after torrenting.

But why waste time watching porn?

Saving it for later, waiting for some hero to leave the sauce in the comments.

@RorzNZ This is right up your alley.

Yep, loads of times. In Airport lounges and buses too. On planes with free WiFi as well.

I would say block all the mac book users but then 90% of their customers would be gone.

You don't need a VPN and the ISPs think its just starbucks downloading all the porn.

[RejZoR]

VPN is the answer then... They can't block what they can't see...

I like their bathrooms, I tend to take long #2's and I do not care if someone knocks!

Also for #1's I do not lock the door, and handsfree! Dont care if its off.

TP or Papertowel for the handle, and I just throw it to the ground. Germs ya know, just look at the Romaine Lettuce fiasco!

Also I never buy nothing from them!

Then again if you're less trackable after the fact (unless you did something to identify yourself).

You could still be identified from things like router log via mac address.

 

@AluminiumTech Illegal porn?.....

Well depends on the argument of whatever laws are on the books. Can be expected some privacy in certain situations. Breaking the laws is normal!

 

Trillions of people litter their cigarette butt

Trillions of people break traffic code, whether it be speeding, not allowing ped to cross, running lights, running stop.

 

Its different sitting in a corner with your hand in your pants, then say in the middle of starbucks with a hand down your pants.

 

There are some odd laws on the books, yet you see people post pictures on Facebook all the time that may be considered "porn" or a category thereof.

That's true people do break the law a lot.... lol

 

I get your point though I don't think anyway has been caught masturbating, just watching porn.

I'm pretty sure both of those are illegal? But meh, i think people have a problem if they can't wait until they get home to be looking porn/h*ntai.

Agreed, but do you see people in Starbucks looking at strangers on laptops?
