Broadband firms urged to block sex websites to protect children

Internet service providers are to be asked by the government to tighten up on website pornography to try to combat the early sexualisation of children.

Ministers believe broadband providers should consider automatically blocking sex sites, with individuals being required to opt in to receive them, rather than opt out and use the available computer parental controls.

Ed Vaizey, the communications minister, is to meet internet providers, including BT, Virgin Media and TalkTalk, "in the near future" to discuss changing the way pornography enters private homes, the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills confirmed. The move is designed to protect children from being exposed to pornography on the net.

"This is a very serious matter. I think it is very important that it's the ISPs that some up with solutions to protect children," Vaizey told the Sunday Times.

"I'm hoping they will get their acts together so that we don't have to legislate, but we are keeping an eye on the situation and we will have a new communications bill in the next couple of years."

The action follows the success of moves by most British internet providers to prevent people inadvertently viewing child pornography websites.

Now ministers want to see adult pornography controlled with similar technology, with sites blocked unless people specifically request access to them. Internet providers had said implementing the scheme would be technically difficult and cost too much. However, some now seem willing to implement the scheme voluntarily.

Andrew Heaney, TalkTalk's executive director of strategy and regulation, told the newspaper: "Our objective was not to do what the politicians want us but to do what is right for our customers. If other companies aren't going to do it of their own volition, then maybe they should be leant on."

Virgin Media said that it had already implemented the technology on its mobile service, but said that parents can control what their children see at home and online. A BT spokesman said they had a "clean feed" system to stop access to illegal sites.

In a parliamentary debate last month, Claire Perry, a Conservative MP who has campaigned for tighter controls, said that 60% of nine- to 19-year-olds had found porn online, while only 15% of computer-literate parents knew how to use filters to block access to certain sites.

The MP said six companies – BT, Virgin, Talk Talk, BSkyB, Orange and 02 – streamed the internet to 90% of homes in the UK. Perry called on the government to put pressure on those companies to install default measures to stop children accessing pornography online.

i'm going to get a job checking out the porn sites that need banning. this country needs protection from perverts and smut

I'm all for this.....But the techonolgy isn't there to stop this.

Porn sites are created daily... they can change their domain very easy....and being able to manage every single porn site won't be happening any time soon.

Well, I guess it's the right thing to do. If you're going to have an online PC in a child's bedroom, you might as well put a big pile of porn in their bookcase too. Still, internet censorship is like trying to stop the sun rising. It really is ridiculous. You just make the hidden content more exciting and enticing - and also, more dangerously, imprint their perception of sex as 'dirty'. you're probably creating a furute porn star by censoring your home's internet content. It's the attempted individualisation of self among social peership equlibrium. If all your kid's pals have access to porn, you must let your child see it too. If he/she doesn't know what their pals are going on about, he/she risks osterisiation or ridicule. If the alpha wears Nike Air, you gotta buy Nike Air. That's the lube of life, my friends. Stand up like a nail and you will be knocked down.

I always picture the BFCC masturbating furiously at screenings, lubed by the pus of burst sores and chaffing on their exhausted, busted cocks.

I'm here all night. Try the buffet!

Next up, Wikileaks and anything else the Government deems unsavoury viewing. Good luck but pretty impossible to enforce, besides porn is subjective. is erotic art porn? is a bikini clad celeb on a beach porn? don't think so. The Conservative government might disagree.

Give him seven wank tokens every Monday morning. You can make these yourself with paper and pens. He can use them all in one day if he wishes, but once those seven are back in your hand, no more masturbation. Tie his hands behind his back and beat his erections down with a cold ruler. It'll teach discipline and respect for his elders.

yeah but it seems to me these days the youngsters can't do anything unless technology is involved.

I am not worried. My 14 month old son humps (his current form of dancing) the floor at the sight/sound of her on telly.
