Filtering the Internet for adult pornographic contents is not an issue among majority of i-café owners. Almost everyone agrees that pornographic sites must be filtered to prevent both young and old customers from viewing them. Many local government units have ordinances requiring i-café owners to install filters that will block those unwanted sites aside from mandating the to have posters around the shop announcing the prohibition. The recently approved implementing rules and regulations of The Anti-Child Pornography Act of 2009 has the same prohibition among its many provisions. From a moral standpoint and whether the law is getting implemented or not in his locality, an i-café owner must install filtering software to avoid websites with adult content from getting viewed by his customers.

Surfing or viewing of pornographic sites inside i-cafés should not be allowed. Many cities and municipalities around the country already have local ordinances prohibiting the act with appropriate penalties to boot. Most local ordinances provide penalties for both the customer and the i-café owner caught violating the prohibition. Penalties or fines range from a few thousand pesos for first and second time offenders to shop closure on third violation. As decent members of society, i-café owners should not allow surfing of pornographic sites in their shops even if there are no existing ordinance in their areas.
