Internet providers aim to protect children from pornography

By Laura Kerrigan
Internet service providers have decided to start a new system, asking customers to 'opt in' to watching adult content.


BT, Sky, Virgin and TalkTalk are all contributing to this new system, after working with David Cameron, who is unveiling the idea on Tuesday to the Mothers Union, a Christian charity. The idea is to ask subscribers to select 'Yes' or 'No', when setting up their service, to whether they want to view the sexually explicit websites.


Other plans have also been spoken of, such as a new website called Parentport, where the public can go to report any content they see in the media that they feel is inappropriate or targeting children in a negative way. The site then issues the complaints to the specific regulator responsible for that media.


Sky worker Lloyd Robinson, is a Stand manager and sells Sky packages, often on the streets of Canterbury. He had his own opinions on Sky's plan to protect children from pornography.  Play the video to see more :
