David Cameron 's. "Porn filter " will be no difference

Four leading provider Controls consist only of persons who are totally new contracts

He says that David Cameron, a new "Porn filter " content on the Internet in the UK by the ISPs, who will see the vast majority of customers said, rejected out has "absolute no difference" to their Web content.

Confusion comes once it was proposed that a new "filtered feed " will be applied to any system with Internet connection of the four largest ISPs - BT, TalkTalk, Virgin and Sky, together 176. 19 million, two million broadband customers in the UK.

It has been suggested that the Prime Minister will unveil measures Tuesday, while 10 is not a meeting hosted by the Mothers of the Union ',. earlier this year introduced a number of proposals to protect children from sexual images. 

But the ISP was fast to insist that the rules only for people who are all new contracts to the choice of a connection "Family ", or can be presented. "The customer must choose one or the other, but we won 't. be one of the two is the default value, " told a source in one of the ISP. A TalkTalk spokesman said: "The". Vote " instead of an opt-in or opt-out " People who have to change to another level of connection within the service is not necessary to change. BT told that new customers to offer made a number of parental control systems, security of McAfee is available.

It is very unlikely that the initiative announced by Cameron will not be surfing a significant impact on the United Kingdom on the web. Very few people give the new company: change in a typical quarter, less than 5% of the clients ISP. Uswitch shows data from around 12 million people have broadband access contract in the past year, 5 million and have never changed changed.

In a statement the ISP said: forward "Medium BT, Sky, TalkTalk and Virgin are developed and approved a code of conduct, including measures to ensure that customers have the choice or active control so parents house. 


"The four internet service providers have worked closely with government and a range of stakeholders to swiftly introduce measures addressing recommendations set out in the Bailey report.
"The ISPs have committed to improve the way they communicate to customers, enabling parents to make simple and well-informed choices about installing and activating parental controls and other measures to protect children online. The four ISPs are working with parents' groups and children's charities on this important initiative and will continue to do so."

But questions have been raised about the systems used to implement the blocking, for which TalkTalk will use a service called HomeSafe. As implemented by TalkTalk, every web location that a customer connects to will be recorded and checked for malicious software – even if they have not opted into the "parental control" system.

The prime minister is expected to announce other moves in line with the Christian charity's review, such as restrictions on aggressive advertising campaigns and certain types of images on billboards.

There will also be a website, ParentPort, which parents can use to complain about television programmes, advertisements, products or services they believe are inappropriate for children.

The site, which will direct complaints to the regulator dealing with that specific area of concern, is expected to be run by watchdogs including the Advertising Standards Authority, BBC Trust, British Board of Film Classification, Ofcom, Press Complaints Commission, Video Standards Council and Pan European Game Information.

Cameron gave strong backing in June to the Mothers' Union proposals after he commissioned a six-month review by the charity's chief executive, Reg Bailey. However, Cameron did not commit to legislation.

Bailey's recommendations included providing parents with one single website to make it easier to complain about any programme, advert, product or service, putting age restrictions on music videos and ensuring retailers offer age-appropriate clothes for children.

Cameron wrote to Bailey in June to thank him for his report. "I very much agree with the central approach you set out," the letter said.

"As you say, we should not try and wrap children in cotton wool or simply throw our hands up and accept the world as it is. Instead, we should look to put 'the brakes on an unthinking drift towards ever-greater commercialisation and sexualisation'."

Bailey's report asked for government and business to work together on initiatives such as ending the sale of inappropriately "sexy" clothing for young children, for example underwired bras and T-shirts with suggestive slogans.

However, he recommended that if retailers do not make progress on the issue they should be forced to make the changes in 18 months.
