- Dear @EE, I recently purchased a 4G PAYG Wireless Broadband Modem from you, but try as I might with your website, I can't enable Porn on it.

— Alec Muffett (@AlecMuffett)Wed, May 14 2014 22:26:06 - Aside: Visa and the other credit-card companies largely don't want to get into the business of identity verification; it costs them money to ping miniscule amounts back-and-forth and they don't want to carry the liability for age verification, since it's not what their actual line of business is meant to entail. They are meant to shuffle money around, not attest that someone is 18+.
- > @EE I also tried replicating the instructions for enabling Porn as-if I had a mobile handset, but those don't work for Wireless Broadband

- . @JocelynKirby It's a modern moral quandry: embarrass some poor staffer in an @EE shop, or pursue a more direct, online approach?

— Alec Muffett (@AlecMuffett)Thu, May 15 2014 09:52:17- @AlecMuffett @EE I propose that you walk into its busiest store and, at the top of your voice, ask "who is responsible for enabling porn?"
