STARBUCKS dikecam karena memberi peluang bagi konsumennya untuk mengakses video porno online melalui jaringan WiFi gratis.
Akses internet raksasa kedai kopi yang didukung British Telecom (BT) tidak memblokir akses internet ke situs porno meskipun mereka adalah anak-anak.
Menteri Kebudayaan dari Leckie, Viscount Younger berjanji akan segera bertindak.
Kedai saingannya, Coffee Costa mengatakan akses internet yang disediakan menggunakan filter online.
Seorang juru bicara Starbucks, Jumat malam menegaskan tidak ada pembatasan pada akses internet di kedai kopi tersebut. Dia menambahkan: " Kami telah mencari solusi terbaik dengan BT untuk memberi hak seimbang untuk melindungi dan membebaskan akses online yang dibutuhkan."
Operator BT menegaskan akan mencari solusi terbaik pada akhir tahun ini.
Peringatan tersebut muncul hanya beberapa minggu setelah Starbucks kedapatan membayar pajak perusahaan kurang dari 9 juta poundsterling dalam 14 tahun terakhir.
STARBUCKS was blasted yesterday for allowing its customers to watch hardcore online porn on its free wi-fi service.
The coffee giant has a BT service that does not block or ban users — which could include children — from logging on to obscene websites.
Culture minister Viscount Younger of Leckie promised to take urgent action.
Rival Costa Coffee said it used wi-fi with filters that stopped customers accessing porn.
A Starbucks spokesman last night confirmed there are no restrictions on online filth in its shops. He added: “We have been working on a solution with BT which means customers get the right balance between the protection and the freedom they want and need online.”
BT said a solution would be in place by the end of the year.
The revelations come just weeks after it emerged Starbucks paid less than £9million in corporation tax over 14 years.
