OAK BROOK, IL — McDonald's has agreed to filter its restaurants' Wi-Fi network to keep customers from publicly enjoying their burgers with a side of pornography.

McDonald's, headquartered in Oak Brook, Illinois, was already voluntarily filtering porn from its restaurants' Wi-Fi networks in the U.K. The filter is now active in most McDonald's locations in the U.S., a spokesperson told Fortune.

Internet safety organization Enough is Enough gathered almost 50,000 petitions and 75 partner organizations, including The National Center on Sexual Exploitation, as part of its National Porn Free Wi-Fi campaign.

Enough is Enough said in a statement that McDonald's responded quickly to the suggestion in 2014, and filtering began in corporate restaurants in the first quarter of 2016.

"Parents can have peace of mind that, when they or their children go to McDonald's, they will have a safer and more friendly WiFi experience, filtered from pornography, from child porn and from potential sexual exploitation and predation," EIE President Donna Rice Hughes said in a statement. "McDonald's deserves widespread praise for this act of corporate responsibility and commitment to children and family safety."
