That's right. After years of pressure from anti-pornography groups, Starbucks has finally developed its own "custom solution" to block pornography from its in-store free Wi-Fi.
Next year, the coffee giant plans to introduce a new tool meant to prevent customers from viewing pornography or other explicit content in stores. While watching pornography is banned at Starbucks locations, the chain does not have content blockers on its Wi-Fi service.
"To ensure the Third Place remains safe and welcoming to all, we have identified a solution to prevent this content from being viewed within our stores and we will begin introducing it to our US locations in 2019," a Starbucks representative told Business Insider in an email on Wednesday.
Starbucks declined to give details on the solution but said the company tested multiple tools, hoping to avoid accidentally blocking unoffensive sites.
If your town has a Peets, I highly recommend it. Haven't tried surfing porn there, lol, but I've always liked their espresso more than any other place, definitely more than Starbucks.
Generally cleaner and better run than Starbucks too.
