It’s been an eventful year for Starbucks as the nation’s most overrated, overpriced bean juice emporium has made the news for all of the wrong reasons.
A spring incident at a Philadelphia location where a manager called the cops on two black loiterers led to a hysterical, race-baiting firestorm that quickly led to the Starbucks agreeing to conduct Orwellian employee “unconscious bias” training and shutting down all of their national stores for this communistic brainwashing.
Another outbreak of racial outrage over a black customer being denied the code to use the facilities led to a panicky move by Starbucks to declare that ALL of their restrooms would be open to the general public going forward.
The announcement set off waves of jubilation among the homeless, prostitutes, drug dealers, junkies and perverts who would get the same gracious treatment by Starbucks as paying customers.
Now in what is perhaps a reaction to allowing the scum of society to come into stores and hang out all day without buying anything, the corporation has moved to ban the ability of their non-paying customers to stream pornographic videos over the in-store WiFi networks.
Pornography will be blocked on Starbucks Wi-Fi starting next year, the company told NBC News today. https://t.co/4X7c0zrqfd

Via NBC News, “Starbucks says it will start blocking pornography on its stores’ Wi-Fi in 2019”:
Starbucks will start blocking pornography viewing on its stores’ Wi-Fi starting in 2019, the company announced amid renewed public pressure on the coffee giant by an internet-safety group.
A Starbucks representative told NBC News that the viewing of “egregious content” over its stores’ Wi-Fi has always violated its policy, but the company now has a way to stop it.
“We have identified a solution to prevent this content from being viewed within our stores and we will begin introducing it to our U.S. locations in 2019,” the company representative said.
The announcement was first reported by Business Insider and comes after a petition from internet-safety advocacy group Enough is Enough garnered more than 26,000 signatures.
The nonprofit launched a porn-free campaign aimed at McDonald’s and Starbucks in 2014, and it says that while McDonald’s “responded rapidly and positively,” Starbucks did not.
Starbucks said in 2016 that the company was “in active discussions with organizations on implementing the right, broad-based solution that would remove any illegal and other egregious content,” according to a statement Monday by Enough is Enough CEO Donna Rice Hughes. But they didn’t act, she said.
Perverts can still download their porn before going to Starbucks and can masturbate in the public restrooms.
