LOS ANGELES – Broadband and telecommunications giant Verizon is under fire for defending its decision to provide hard-core porn titles with child and incest themes. The company was included in the 2014 Dirty Dozen List of pornography’s leading facilitators, compiled by Morality in Media (MIM), a national organization that opposes pornography.
According to MIM, lewd titles like “I Banged My Stepdad,” “Mom, Daughter and Me,” and “Pigtail Teens Pounded” are just some of the many offerings featured on Verizon’s FIOS video on-demand service. In a letter to MIM, Verizon’s Associate Director for Advertising and Content Standards John P. Artney defended the company’s choice to provide the content, noting that “consumers today have extraordinary choice in and control over the content available to them across these networks.”
“The explosion in choice is a tremendous benefit to consumers, but not all consumers want to have access to all content for themselves and their families all of the time,” wrote Artney. “Not all content is desirable to or appropriate for all consumers, however, and Verizon is proud to provide our customers with myriad tools to control the types of content that they and their families have access to through our service.”

“When thermonuclear fireballs arrive from across the ponds they will be, in part, well deserved.”
Are you aware that Muslim countries download the most porn, especially bestiality themed porn?
Who deserves that nuking?
Google sez child nudist sites exist. Wanna book a family visit to the Candy Farm in Dorset, England?
That should keep the lawyers in business for years, as issues of nudity(naturism), child participation in a family outing to a nudist colony, etc.
Double popcorn.
And a Pox of the lawyers on both sides.
Don’t forget nude summer camps - no parents allowed - you can imagine the perversions
I would venture to guess it is already out there, along with things we have not even thought of.
It all comes down to the “almighty dollar”.
Verizon thinks they are offering this product to responsible adults. What they fail to realize is what if someone like Ariel Castro, who kidnapped and raped and held captive those 3 girls in PA, subscribed to their porn (he may well have to someone else’s), what more do you think they girls would have been forced to endure all those years.
I have Verizon phones (home & cell), but will have to look into moving to someone else.
God help this country! We are turning into evildoers.
Love of money...
