Denver International Airport has blocked some Web sites as part of its free Wi-Fi network, according to reports.
The service has an Internet filter which prevents users from viewing “provocative” content in an attempt to avoid complaints from parents.
Chuck Cannon, spokesperson for the airport, told The Denver Post that the blocking filter was placed on the network when free Wi-Fi was rolled out in November. He explained that less than 1 percent of the 1.7 million Web page requests made each day on the network are denied.
Provocative underwear adverts and any sites displaying nudity or partial nudity are blocked by Denver’s filter to uphold the family-friendly stance of the airport.
