Those of us who use FireFox, which I have for a couple years now, see Pocket news regularly when we open our Internet browser. As the parent of a social work major studying at the third-year level, I love the frequent articles on mental health that appear magically with that one click. I often forward them to her for her professional collection and for her use in the many papers she must write and submit. And there are so many others that I enjoy on a variety of topics.
However, out of the blue, a few weeks ago, an unsavory intrusion has begun to infiltrate the Pocket site and to assault the reader head on: Articles on sex masquerading as welcome, helpful news, like "wild sex with a repairman," or with "a younger man," or in "a position I hadn't tried before." Without apology, I find these articles--which I refuse to open--to be offensive and unwelcome. My opinion is that these articles do not belong in the site and violate the publishers' own mission statement. What do you think?
