Husbands face seeking wives permission to view porn under new restrictions
Red-faced husbands face having an awkward ‘discussion’ with their partners if they wish to continue watching online porn in future, prime minister David Cameron has revealed.
The PM is backing a tough new pre-set filter which would be set-up by all internet service providers which will automatically block access to online pornography.
Speaking on BBC Radio Two’s The Jeremy Vine Show, Cameron said co-habiting adults wishing to view such content were ‘just going to have to have a discussion’ on whether to unblock it.
Cameron added: “All I’m saying is that as a parent and a politician, I think other parents would welcome the fact that when you sign up to an online account you get a prompt to think about whether you want an internet in your house where your children can sometimes accidentally or on purpose search for pornographic images.
“We are giving parents, I think, the opportunity to take a more positive role. We are not telling parents what to do; we are helping them with something they have asked us, in many ways, to do.”
By the end of 2014 the largest ISP’s will be required to ask 95 per cent all properties with an existing internet connection whether they wish to activate a ‘family friendly internet filter.’
