Re: No Free Speech on Free Wi-Fi

True true. All true. I agree with everything you said.

And I still think it's ok to filter the porn.

The problem is, there's no real way to address, directly, the problem of gratuitous (or even inadvertant) display. There's no way to keep people from looking over a shoulder. Its hard to hide the contents of a 15" bright color display (or the bad porn music )

There's no porn on cable or broadcast (I don't mean PPV-just regular cable).

I think that ultimately, this is just a matter of personal feeling. Like I said above, I agree with you on all your points, and if I were fifteen years younger (not commenting on your age - just mine ) I would probably be against filtering the porn. But experience tells me that we don't need to be servicing someone's porn jones on a public network. Let them get it from a private provider. I'm fine with that.

Reasonable folks can disagree.

Cheers,

wig
