The plan to introduce the content blocker, which will be rolled out next year, was announced in an email provided by a Starbucks representative to Business Insider. Starbucks declined to provide technical details about their blocking tool, but they did say that the company tested multiple tools in search of a solution that wouldn't accidentally block inoffensive sites.

Starbucks already has a policy of banning customers from watching pornography in its stores.
