OLPC Bestows Porn onto Guileless Third World Masses


MarketingVOX: One what can perhaps only be called an unexpected outcome of the greater good, the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) initiative has inadvertently brought pornography to primary schools the world over.
At least, that’s what the News Agency of Nigeria says, reports TechCrunch. A report from the agency finds laptops at a primary school in Abuja “have gone awry as the pupils freely browse adult sites with explicit sexual materials.”
But the instance of alternative anatomical education will be short-lived. A representative of OLPC reported the free laptops will now be outfitted with porn filters.
The OLPC seeks to bring durable open source laptops to children in the Third World.
