Starbucks and McDonald’s consent to filter WiFi porn

Starbucks and McDonald’s have decided to implement filtering technology to block customers using WiFi from accessing pornography sites.

The move follows a campaign from anti-pornography groups Enough is Enough and the National Center on Sexual Exploitation that was demanding the chains to filter out pornography.

Illinois-based McDonald's, Oak Brook in a statement said that WiFi filtering has been activated in the majority of its nearly 14,000 restaurants nationwide. A spokesperson for Seattle-based Starbucks says it will implement filtering once it can find a system that "also doesn't involuntarily block unintended content."

Enough is Enough President Donna Rice Hughes applauded the moves and said the organization plans to push other businesses and venues to filter their WiFi.

The National Center for Sexual Exploitation said chains such as Chick-fil-A and Panera Bread already block porn on WiFi.
