[QUOTE]Ministers have rejected plans to automatically block internet access to pornography on all computers, saying the move is not widely supported.
A public consultation found that 35% of parents wanted an automatic bar while 15% wanted some content filtered, and an option to block other material.
But the government says internet providers should encourage parents to switch on parental controls.
The NSPCC said parents' voices were not being heard.
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.
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.
An automatic block would mean users would have to actively request that pornographic content was made available by their ISP.
The report said there was "no great appetite among parents for the introduction of default filtering of the internet by their ISP - only 35% of the parents who responded favoured that approach".
Some 13% said they favoured "a system where you are automatically asked some questions about what you want your children to be able to access".
And 15% answered "yes" to a system that combined the previous two approaches where some harmful content, such as pornography, was automatically blocked but parents were also asked about what other content their children could access.
The NSPCC said the figures showed that half of the parents who took part in the consultation wanted some sort of automatic block on online pornography.
But the report said an automatic ban - or "opt-in" - approach could lead parents into a "false sense of security" because it could not filter "all potentially harmful content".
It also did not "deal with harms such as bullying, personal abuse, grooming or sexual exploitation which arise from the behaviour of other internet users".
It added: "There is also a risk from 'over-blocking' - preventing access to websites which provide helpful information on sexual health or sexual identity, issues which young people may want information on but find difficult to talk to their parents about.
"The government is now asking all internet service providers to actively encourage people to switch on parental controls if children are in the household and will be using the internet."
'Right direction'
About 70% of the 78 voluntary and community sector organisations that responded answered "yes" to an automatic block while a strong majority of respondents from all other groups answered "no".
While a large majority of the 77 information and communication businesses questioned were against all forms of control, they gave most support (about 18%) to the second approach, in which parents decide what they want their children to access on the internet.
The report found that, taking respondents as a whole, the majority were against all forms of control with more than 80% answering no to each of the three questions.
It praised the the four main ISPs - BT, TalkTalk, Virgin Media and Sky - for signing up to a code of practice, offering customers a choice of whether to apply filters, but said providers should go further and actively encourage parents to turn them on.
The NSPCC said that while the government's response was "a step in the right direction in making the internet safer for children" it was "disappointing" it had not gone further.
"The best option to protect children is for adult content to be automatically blocked by internet service providers," head of corporate affairs Alan Wardle said.
"Given that half of the parents who took part in the government consultation wanted this option we are concerned their views have not been heard.
"Hardcore pornographic videos are just a few clicks away and a quarter of children have been sent unsolicited sexual material online."
He said it was vital new measures were rolled out to new and existing customers "as quickly as possible".
The government consultation followed a campaign by MPs including Conservative Claire Perry for greater curbs on access to online porn.
Ms Perry chaired the cross-party Independent Parliamentary Inquiry on Online Child Protection which concluded in April that government and ISPs needed to do more to keep children safe online.
It found that children were easily accessing pornography and websites showing extreme violence and called on the the government to back moves for stronger filters of adult content.[/QUOTE]

If the rapists don't actually commit the rape, how are we supposed to arrest them? Ban porn now
THINK OF THE CHILDREN
Ban everything I say! Who's with me?!
It's not the porn that's the problem.
it's the dicks.
clearly we must ban cocks.
There's no way this could have passed in a country like the UK anyway
I wonder when people will get over this "BAN EVERYTHING" mentality?
But porn is the only thing kids get exercise out of these days.

Everything is bad for you. Food,Air,Medicine. And sadly, doctors precribe you some pills for a headache when just 8 hours of sleep will make it go away. Why? Just so they can make money.

Paying 20c for a paracetamol > trying to get to sleep with a headache.
I like how the government is telling parents that 1) the gov is not going to do parents' job for them and 2) they should use the tools they already have.

He's right actually, porn, or rather frequent masturbation, is "bad" for you in that it decreases overall testosterone levels and thus the drive and desire to actually get laid.
But the thing is it doesn't matter if it is bad for you or not. Freedom over our own bodies is the only natural freedom we have, and it should not be hindered by people who think they know what's best for you.
Watch as they only block out softcore porn
german scat and russian BDSM porn downloads shoots up
rapes shoot up
