The UK government has rejected a controversial scheme forcing internet users to 'opt in' if they wish to access adult content. Customers would have to inform their internet service provider that they are planning to access such material in order for a filter to be deactivated, BBC News reports. However, ministers found during a 10-week consultation with the public that the measures had not garnered strong support, with just 35% of parents favouring the plans.
