Communications minister Ed Vaizey is working on plans designed to prevent children gaining access to internet pornography.
He hopes to introduce a system that would enable parents to ask internet service providers (ISPs) to block adult sites at source, rather than relying on parental controls that they need to set themselves.
Adults using the internet connection would then have to specifically 'opt in' if they want to view pornography.

Mumsnet PLEASE think about doing a campaign about this. Or at least keep us posted on if & when the government decides to ask for our views.
In the meantime maybe we should all contact our current ISPs to ask what they plan to do and letting them know what we want as their customers.
