Government wants BT, Virgin and other internet providers to put access to adult pornography on 'opt-in' basis

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, 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.

The initiative comes in advance of the proposed convergence of television and the internet.

The government would prefer providers to arrive at a solution rather than be pressed into it by legislation.

"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.

A survey by Psychologies magazine found that one in three children aged 10 in Britain had seen pornography on the net.

And the man who has covertly been subscribing to somewhere is going to have to remove the block without his wife realising.

Or if the bill contains the notice "Opted in to see porn 12/20/2010"...

that's step one.
next step: make the use of a .xxx domain mandatory for adult sites based int he UK.
next step: make the filter opt-out instead of opt-in.
next step: make the opt-out process harder.

Oh, and along the way sites expressing political and philosophical views that oppose the current government will accidentally end up on the block list...

The big companies will get fucked, while the little guys see a huge increase in traffic & revenue.

There's no way they're blocking every porn site on the internet, so get going on your niche sites boys!

I notice in reading the report the TORY that is pushing this claims that 60% of children have access to porn. Reading more closely she defines children as from 9 to 19 years old ! Why a 18 or 19 year old cannot watch the erotic I don't know, but is just a way to fake the stats.

I am writing to my broadband supplier to say that if they implement this I will be ending my contract...if you are with UK talk talk you can do it here....

Actually, there is some truth in this statement, before the election they were promising other things than they do now... so we can presume this is not the government we have voted for. We got betrayed. I haven't voted for Conservatives anyway btw.
