Should There Be An Automatic Block On Accessing Internet Porn?
The idea of an automatic block on accessing internet porn is supported by MP Andrea Leadsom. A new bill is being put forward in the House of Lords requiring broadband providers to turn on a filter.
Calls for an automatic block on accessing internet pornography have been criticised by the web industry. The Internet Services Providers' Association say the automatic ban would go too far and insist existing security measures are working. A new bill is being put forward in the House of Lords requiring broadband providers to turn on a filter by default, leaving users to "opt in" to adult content.
