Starbucks Bans Porn Content Starting 2019

If this hilarious or not, I won’t really talk about, but Starbucks bans porn starting next year, in 2019. The coffee chain behemoth plans to banish pornographic content from all its shops.

If you are missing a solid Wi-Fi connection at home, chances are, you are hanging out at Starbucks regularly, enjoying your god-knows-what-coffee-infused-sweet-hot-drink. Now, what for you use Wi-Fi there only you really know about. Kinda, not really.

Some use it for business, the others use it for Facebook, the third ones for YouTube and then there are some folks who want to watch porn “anonymously” at a Starbucks coffee shop. Apparently, that is a thing. It looks like some folks just do not give a fuck and watch porn even in a coffee shop.

However, the real issue that happens to be is to prevent watching and downloading illegal porn content at all their shops. And there are close to thirty thousand worldwide. Nope, still not in my country! Do not blame me that I watch it because even if I would want to watch it, I simply cannot.

Starting 2019, Starbuck plans to ban porn aka introducing a porn filter to their US shops. You can definitely expect them to take action on a global scale as well soon after.

Apparently, Starbucks has a solution that will filter out all the pornographic content and even ban porn sites.

According to Starbucks, “… it rarely occurs, the use of Starbucks public Wi-Fi to view illegal or egregious content is not, nor has it ever been permitted.” Hint: they know what you are doing when using their free, public Wi-Fi connection.

For your information, Starbucks announced two years ago that it will start blocking porn. I only know about this as of today. To be honest, it never really came to mind that people are actually watching XXX content in a Starbucks. Oh well, if they are doing it on a bus, a coffee shop is like 100 times cozier.

Is Starbucks porn ban really necessary?

Right now, I am trying to think of the weirdest place I watched porn. To be honest with you, I have no funny stories to share. You see, even if I, very likely, watch loads more porn that you are, I am still doing it the old school way – on my desktop. And I definitely never drank coffee during watching dirty videos.

As for my mobile adult consumption, I only watched live webcam sex a few times, and I did not go further than my toilet. I might be boring but I am still enjoying myself to the fullest, and that’s what matters most.

To get back to the Starbucks porn ban thing, it’s Donna Rice Hughes, the CEO of Enough Is Enough, who started the whole thing. Donna claimed that the chain is keeping its doors open for convicted sex offenders and others benefitting from the free, public Wi-Fi services. Her group even collected 26,000 signatures in a petition which aimed towards Starbucks grabbing the attention of pedophiles.

Not that I am really promoting watching pornography at Starbucks’ coffee shops, but the new year is just around the corner and you will soon see how serious they are about the big ban. I bet the porn ban will have close to zero effect at the coffee chain.
