London:
British parents may have to "opt in" to watch pornography online
in a bid to protect their children from seeing indecent images.
Tory MP Claire Perry wants providers to offer a "clean" service by
default. Her campaign comes after studies revealed that one in
three 10-year-olds in Britain have watched online sex, the Daily
Express reported.
Studies have revealed that one in three 10-year-olds in Britain
have watched online sex. In the 14-16 age group, the number shoots
up to eight in 10.
While parents say they are worried, only about half activate
filters on their home computers to block explicit sexual content.
According to Perry, pornography is a poor sex educator.
She says early exposure can pressure teenage girls to have risky
sex, and lead boys to adopt "violent and unhealthy notions of sex
and relationships".
