Is Ronald homophobic?
Gay organisations in New Zealand have slammed McDonald's for blocking gay-themed websites in 132 of it's branches across the country.
GayNZ.com, a gay lifestyle website providing a range of services has been denied access since McDonald's began their free Wifi service in New Zealand in December.
A McDonald's spokesperson has said that the restrictions are in place to ensure a family friendly content suitable for children
Censorship or Sensible?
What do you think?

Maybe that site was just cut while they cut out gay porn, or porn in general.
If that's the case it's fine, as is not targeting gay people.
I worked in a place that tried to stop certain internet access.

as in most companies, adult websites are usually blocked, but if its one individual site being blocked, that amounts to censorship and any type of censorship is wrong IMO

What a load of crap this is. Maccy D's provides FREE internet at their own expense so if they wanted to change every page visited to their own website then they can. If you want free, open, uncensored internet access then get the wallet out and pay for it like anyone else. This is more propaganda that pisses me off.

It's an incentive so that we, spend our money in their restaurants instead of their competitors. They factor this in to the price they charge...NOTHING IS FREE nw!Originally Posted by northernwaster
Therefore, should they be allowed to block sites?

YES of course. If I wanted to open my router to the public but block [for example] Google, that would be up to me the person paying for it.
