New UK Bill Demands Porn Filtration
- PC Pro, Friday, April 6, 2012 3 AM
ISPs and device makers would be forced to filter adult content under a new bill presented to the House of Lords. The Online Safety Bill, raised in the Lords by Baroness Howe of Ildicote, asks for ISPs and mobile operators to "provide a service that excludes pornographic images" and for device makers to include ways to filter content at the point of purchase. The proposal is a Private Members Bill, which rarely make it into law without Government support, and has yet to be subject to any debate.
