Dixons Retail has ad to offer a rather grovelling apology after one of its display iPads was somehow left showing hardcore porn to all and sundry – or more distressingly to some young kids.
According to the Surrey Comet, a mother had gone into her local Currys store with her three children aged from toddler to teen, when they came across the iSmut device. The distressed mother was just a few seconds behind her children,who therefore only saw a short glimpse of the X-rated content – but its appears to have left an impression – with her youngest still “laughing” at the thought.
The problem arose after a failure of the blacklisting system in the store which should prevent customers viewing such adult websites – something they are “taking immediate steps to resolve”.
