NYC Kills Public Internet Kiosks Because Public Uses Them for Porn

NYC Kills Public Internet Kiosks Because Public Uses Them for Porn | PJ Media:
"New York City thought it was stepping into the 21st century when it launched its public internet kiosks. 
They envisioned yet another "free" public service being used for good and noble purposes. After all, the internet makes so many amazing things possible, right?

Unfortunately, the folks of NYC forgot that the public -- who were taxed to pay for the "free" internet -- is made up of people. 
They used the internet for their own purposes, and those purposes weren't what the city envisioned:

Eight months after the appearance of the first LinkNYC hubs, which are -- or were -- internet kiosks meant to help bring the Big Apple into the 21st Century, the city has taken a step back.

Some of these kiosks were not used to “save data on their mobile plans, call relatives across the country, and get a much-needed quick charge” as they were originally intended. Instead, they were used to watch pornography.

And this is shocking ... how?

Point me to any Democratic Party, taxpayer-funded project for "community enhancement," I'll point you to the new local hotspot for pervs or addicts.

Brand new park by the river? 
Brand new site for drug addicts and dealers.

Shiny new public restrooms on Sunday? 
Filthy "communal prostitution center" by Saturday.

With the kiosks, the official blame from New York City was directed at homeless people, who were unable to watch porn at home for obvious reasons:

Per an announcement from the LinkNYC team, “We … know that some users have been monopolizing the Link tablets and using them inappropriately, preventing others from being able to use them while frustrating the residents and businesses around them. The kiosks were never intended for anyone’s extended, personal use and we want to ensure that Links are accessible and a welcome addition to New York City neighborhoods.” Which, as it turns out, they were not, particularly along Manhattan’s 8th Avenue, where abuse of the kiosks was particularly rampant.

The decision was released shortly after Motherboard published its own report examining the prevalence of homeless men stationing themselves in front of the LinkNYC hubs to use the internet. Evidently, the hubs have also become hotspots for public drinking and drug use—  the opposite of the hubs’ original intention to “improve the quality of life.”

You'd think New York City -- er, Democrats -- would understand by now that this was a real likelihood.
