{{In the UK, Ministers have rejected plans to automatically block internet access to pornography on all computers, saying the move is not widely supported.}}<\/p>\n
A public consultation found 35% of parents wanted an automatic bar while 15% wanted some content filtered, and an option to block other material.<\/p>\n
But the government says internet providers should encourage parents to switch on parental controls.<\/p>\n
Claire Perry, the MP who led the campaign, said she was “disappointed”.<\/p>\n
The NSPCC said parents’ voices were not being heard.<\/p>\n
There were more than 3,500 responses to the 10-week consultation – which included those from members of the public, academics, charities and communication firms as well as 757 from parents.<\/p>\n
Respondents were asked to answer “yes”, “no” or “maybe” to three separate questions about how internet service providers (ISP) could play a role in limiting access.<\/p>\n
An automatic block would mean users would have to actively request that pornographic content was made available by their ISP.<\/p>\n
Mrs Perry, the Conservative MP for Devizes in Wiltshire, led the campaign and handed over a petition to Downing Street containing more than 115,000 names.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
