A Bill in Britain aimed at curbing children’s access to online porn has received cross party support as it progresses through Parliament. Now at its second reading, the Digital Economy Bill places a responsibility on content providers to establish “robust age verification controls for online pornographic content in the UK”. The Bill also proposes that the government works with payment bodies such as Paypal towards a system whereby services be withdrawn from non-compliant websites. Welcoming the Bill, Labour MP Sarah Champion, said: “The scale of online abuse and exploitation, and the proliferation of pornography and violent sexualised imagery among children, has reached endemic levels. This Bill presents us with an opportunity to offer protection to all children, and I urge this House to do so.”
