LONDON (BP) -- British Prime Minister David Cameron has announced a
multifaceted campaign against Internet pornography that blocks in-home
access to images through search engines but allows individual residences
to maintain access upon request.
By the end of 2013 in Great
Britain, pornographic images and prose will automatically be filtered by
Internet providers for new customers, unless they opt in to receive
them, and existing customers will have the option of activating
"family-friendly" filters to their accounts, Cameron announced Monday
(July 22) at the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children London headquarters.
"I'm not making this speech because
I want to moralize or scaremonger but because I feel profoundly as a
politician, and as a father, that the time for action has come," Cameron
said. "This is, quite simply, about how we protect our children and
their innocence."
