Mariott ending in-room Porn

There aren't that many bright spots in the quest to fight pornography right now. It is becoming more and more prolific on the internet, and is slowly making its way into more and more lives. But here is a major source of hope for those hoping to reduce the influence of pornography on society - Mariott Hotels has announced a plan to end porn on their in-room channels and entertainment systems. A step in the right direction!

Marriott International, one of the nation's leading hotel groups, tells Hotel Check-In that it's pulling access to adult movies from the new hotel rooms it will be opening the next several years...

Marriott's decision also comes after years of discussing whether the availability of adult entertainment in guest rooms - for years, a money maker for hotels - is appropriate and whether secure safeguards exist to keep it away from children

Of course, this doesn't stop guests from locating porn on their laptops or bringing it in with them. But the point here is to protect the innocent, and make it just a little bit harder to bring that kind of darkness into one's life in a moment of loneliness.
