Internet service providers (ISPs) have criticised a new attempt to automatically block online pornography.
The proposed Online Safety Bill in the UK would require people to opt in and prove they were over 18 to view adult content.
Although unlikely to become law, a government advisor said the bill should keep the pressure on internet service providers.
Companies providing broadband services warned that the approach was ?not a silver bullet?.
Conservative MP Claire Perry said ISPs should act without regulation but warned if they didn?t or wouldn?t ?then we will have to step in?.
Good or bad idea? ?Should the government be allowed to filter Internet usage in this way? ?Or should the regulation be more like Google?s ?Safe Search??an opt-in filter for those who want protection on their service?
