Religious figures ask hotel industry to drop porn from TV systems; industry scoffs
Skift Take
What's coming next? A letter to ask removal of wifi from hotels so people don't surf porn on their laptops/tablets? The hotel TV porn systems have been in rapid decline anyway as wifi/broadband has taken off, so the pastor & imam could just wait a bit longer.
A letter penned by two notable scholars – a Christian and a Muslim – and sent to a number of different hotel industry executives has asked those hotels to remove pornography from their company's in-room movie selections. Reaction to the letter from some adult film stars – and even from some advocates for removing porn from hotels – was negative.
AVN, the adult industry paper-of-record reacts in the way you would expect, entertaining read.
