Delta previously announced it planned to rely on flight attendants to handle inappropriate situations, such as pornography surfing. But after feedback from customers and attendants, the airline changed its policy and is working with Wi-Fi provider Aircell to use a system to block inappropriate content. Don't they rent blankets? Another lost opportunity for revenue...
“Blocking will be limited in scope and will be for sites that few, if any, would question are inappropriate to be viewed on an aircraft,” Delta spokesman Kent Landers said Thursday. “Our focus is to achieve a balanced approach.” Sounds like complete BS to me!
While other systems have been criticized for blocking relatively non-racy sites such as Vanity Fair magazine, Landers said Delta’s system would work differently. The big question is whether Delta considers sites such as DELTAreallySUCKS.com inappropriate for surfing while onboard the aircraft. Please drop me a line if you find they do.
