Two of the largest chain restaurants with free WiFi in the United States, McDonald's and Starbucks, are adding pornography filters to their internet.
Following the campaign of anti-porn group Enough is Enough and the National Center on Sexual Exploitation, McDonald's has added internet filters to its public WiFi throughout the country, a change that was announced last week.
"McDonald's is committed to providing a safe environment for our customers, and we are pleased to share that Wi-Fi filtering has been activated in the majority of McDonald's nearly 14,000 restaurants nationwide," a spokesperson for the fast food restaurant said in a statement.
"We had not heard from our customers that this was an issue, but we saw an opportunity that is consistent with our goal of providing an enjoyable experience for families."
