The problem unhoused people face is not nighttime library access it’s housing. We all know that the reason they’re shutting their wifi off at night is because while for some homeless people this wifi is a lifeline, for some others it’s where they get their porn or where they hang out to do drugs and browse the internet. But the fundamental problem remains the same, because they have no where to go home to, whether someone is fapping or connecting with helpful resources, it’s all done in public.
they’re doing it because rich people are scared of unhoused people and want them to disappear or die. no wifi means unhoused people wont hang out around the library means rich people in the area will see fewer unhoused people
it’s revolting and it’s violent. people die when homeless people get bullied out of spaces and harassed by cops.
That’s exactly how I meant it! Lots of people watch porn and do drugs, it’s not a problem to watch porn in your own house. That’s why I’m saying the problem is housing. The solution isn’t allow people to watch porn and do drugs in public, it’s housing so they can do it in private like normal people.

Yeah but building housing is expensive and difficult and takes a long time. But turning off wifi is easy and cheap and has an immediate effect.

If you think turning off the wifi is going to stop people from masturbating…
I kind of took it the other way. If they think because I have a roof over my head I’m not watching porn and doing drugs, they would be very mistaken.
