*side eye* Barnes & Noble... Get it Together

Child Finds Porn On Bookstore E-Reader « CBS Dallas / Fort Worth

I must really like you guys because I was web searching for this article after hearing it on the news and I know my internet use is being monitored. No LoL's. Dear U.S. Government, as you can clearly see I was looking for a article not looking up pictures of children in a lewd way.

Okay so here in a North Texas Barnes & Noble store a parent saw their 4 year old child looking at porn on a demo Nook in the children's area of the bookstore. The parent was outraged and took to social media to issue a warning. The store Execs issued an apology & confirmed the demo Nooks have no filtered controls on them.

What the Heck??? What is Barnes & Nobles and any other stores that are doing this thinking about? Public libraries, government agencies & schools block sensitive materials that can be found on the web. Why can't a public store not do the same? Oh I came up with several ways how the porn ended up on the demo Nook in the first place. 1) Some pervert looked it up in the children's area just to get his jollies off. 2) Some one with hacker potential, looked it up just to see if Barnes & Noble had it blocked. 3) Some curious preteen, caught his parent(s) not looking and went to a site he heard his peers talk about. Now I could come up with that many reasons how the porn was even on the Nook, Barnes & Noble has not good excuse why they didn't foresee this issue. This is not a vanilla world. Too much known crap is out here not to anticipate all possible problems. I don't understand how any of the demo Nooks were able to have access to any porn, governmental sites, banking websites, etc., etc. No one who visit your sore should be able to access sensitive areas of the net. That is common sense.

So Barnes and Noble and other public places not using Internet Filter controls, Shame, Shame, Shame on you for being stupid. No one comes to your store wanting to see porn. Get it together, you have a brand to protect. Get some Firewalls.
