UK MP Calls for Mandatory Net Porn Filter

UK MP Claire Perry calls for a change in regulations to require all ISPs to restrict universal access to pornographic material to only those verified to be over 18, comparing the Internet to other content delivery systems like television, movies, newspapers, and magazines where the govt already limits what citizens can and cannot view. UK MP Claire Perry led a debate in the House of Commons recently in which she called for the creation of a mandatory ISP-level porn filter of the Internet. Internet users who wish to access porn would have to opt-in and verify that they are over the age of 18.
