Airport Blocks Porn
By kirk noonan | March 5, 2008
Denver International Airport offers free Wi-Fi to travelers, but there’s a catch. Airport officials have blocked Internet sites it deems provocative, according to an Associated Press report.
Officials say they have blocked the sites so they don’t have to deal with “angry parent whose children might see pornography.”
According to the article some critics are accusing the airport of using the same technology used by “repressive regimes in Sudan and Kuwait.”
Huh?
What do repressive regimes in Sudan and Kuwait have to do with free Wi-Fi and parents who get upset when their children are exposed to pornography at an airport?
It sounds like DIA officials are only trying to be good hosts to the millions of travelers, with kids in tow, who pass through its terminals.
Simple Plan wonders if the critics referred to in the article bust out the porn when children are present in their homes. Just guessing here, but most likely not.
And why not?
Because no matter what your moral code is, it wouldn’t be appropriate in the eyes of God, our society and probably the law in most states to expose children to porn.
Hopefully DIA stands strong and sticks to its new standard operating procedure regarding Wi-Fi. After all, people aren’t born with a right to free Wi-Fi served up just the way they like it.
