Mmmm seems a few angry people saw the words “porn, unfiltered access” and got all “Gotta post now, I am sooo angry” and missed what Diaz was saying. But I guess you’ll get that. Yes it seems we are all free to read, view and talk about what we like and don’t like, but we also have common sense when not to do these things and as Diaz says (for those who posted before reading the whole article) “In “this nation,” and any other nation, individuals know how to behave in public and, if they don’t, they would get their arse kicked by the crew or other passengers.” oh and the last sentence “I’ll keep flying them, but not for the porn. OK, for the porn too.” I think most would agree as being irony.

Wow Mr Diaz, what a way to isolate and offend a heap of your readers in one story. Instead of just reporting the news and letting people make up there own mind about the topic, you give your small minded view. David Weiss statement is not stupid. It's quite right, be some people are stupid (apparently you may be), who think it's ok to view porn on an Airplane or in public. It's not, and further more, I hope the editor of Gizmodo has a little chat to you, cause I know there are obviously a lot of people who disagree with you. Now, that's your business if you want to look at that stuff. But we don't want to see it and I certainly don't want my kids to see it.

How about instead of thinking with your....... you think with your brain. Focus on the Family does a lot of good things. Don't knock what you don't understand.

Oh and it's good that we can see who writes the post at the top. Cause I wont be reading any of your one sided opinions anymore.

Looks like someone has some anger issues. There are ways of making your point in a more diplomatic fashion where people might actually take you seriously rather than the whole “come in guns blazing” approach.

Ha! Wow! Such a violent knee-jerk reaction, Anonymous!

I'm glad there's no filtering. I seriously doubt that anyone would look at porn in-flight. People have been using laptops on flights for years now, and the risk has always there that they'd just watch porn DivXs or look at dirty JPG files that were stored on their hard drive. I haven't seen anyone looking at inappropriate content on a flight, nor have I heard of anyone else complaining.

Just because this is a new way to potentially access inappropriate content online in real-time on a flight doesn't mean it's going to happen.

(and I can't help myself so:)
You could also just... uh... put a cloth bag over your baby's head for it's entire life. You know - kidnapper-style - since you want to protect it as much as possible from anything that remotely looks nasty or could possibly pervert its easily-manipulable & easily-impressionable squishy infant brain...

Isn’t the imaginary beardy man’s gift to us all free will? I thought that’s what we learnt in school anyway.

It’s not about blocking porn – I’d actually agree if there was a way of doing that, then great! It’s that 99% of what blockers block ISN’T porn, but just completely random websites. Besides, these screens on seats are pretty hard to view from anywhere other than where you are sat…

Porn needs to be kept out of view of non-consenting parties agreed, but swearing and cursing online at a stranger for giving their view on something is real good new parent behaviour….?

If you want to surf porn, do it at your house, hotel, whatever, but I see no issue of them blocking this shit on a plane. Go fuck yourself.

Look dip shit. There will always be pervs who will surf porn on the net while on an airliner and when you have kids around, what the hell. I just had a new baby girl and who needs people surfing sites like this and don’t tell me they will not. Get back to reality dumbass. Your free world mentality is what’s “ridiculous” in places where children could be boxed into your best friend who is surfing porn when others don’t really care their kids to be subjected to this on a plane. If you say I’m over reacting, you’re full of shit. You know this will happen. I just had a new baby girl and you sort of think about things like this but in you free self will world, you are blind to things like this. And no I’m not affiliated with any groups. I just use common sense and I care about decency in this world which you obviously could care less even on a plane where children are always around.
