Comcast and Pornography
Details
Comcast provides cable TV, high-speed Internet, and Xfinity video-on-demand. However, through its on-demand videos and premium channel services, Comcast sells pornography with racist themes, incest themes, and teen themes! According to the National Center on Sexual Exploitation’s Dirty Dozen List, ” Comcast profits from sexual exploitation. One way it does this is by providing access to hardcore pornography via its Xfinity television packages. Comcast has even defended its provision of teen, incest, and racist-themed pornography as a benefit to their customers. Additionally, as an Internet service provider, Comcast is not proactively filtering hardcore pornography, but shifts the burden of activating filters to their customers.”
Comcast’s response to a call to stop selling porn was a promise to sanitize the description of pornographic films they sell! Is there any wonder we see more and more stories about young boys raping young girls!
