Do you think Google and other search engine companies should be doing more to stop people viewing online porn ?

Quote from BBC News

"Search engines such as Google should do more to restrict access to online pornography, a government adviser on child internet safety has said."

I think it’s a lost cause but that’s no reason to stop the fight against those unsavoury elements of society whose motives are frankly despicable….

No. Parents should take more responsibility.

I agree, I think people that look for legal images already have issues!! I do not think them finding them makes them better or worse.

Google have also said that legal images should not be found using their site and if they are they should be reported immediately. When there are they are pulled from the search results and the authorities are made aware of the find.

^ This, and by not allowing them to have internet access on their phones and blocking websites of that nature on their laptops until they are 18

Facebook has always taken a very laissez-faire attitude towards just about everything that is posted on there, from out and out racism, to violence and anything in between.

It's no wonder they have the same attitude towards heir tax affairs - "we'll comply only when you legislate".

Fine moral stand point, that...

There was a beheading video apparently, which thousands of people complained about, but they would not remove it.

It has now been removed and they have said they will now police fb.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with a lot of their sponsors threatening to remove their support

something very Orwellian about such 'social media'..

never used it and wont do so, respect that for some folk under an oppressive regime it has had its uses..

but it has to have guidelines and adhere to them..

There are alot of really sick people out there and the only thing that can be done about those type of pictures is what is already being done. I agree that children and under 18s should not be able to freely access the internet and restrictions should be put on their mobiles so that they cant get on stuff like that. But thats only part of the problem the real problem is the people taking the pictures etc and they should get more severe punishment for their crimes

I see where your coming from but considering 16 is the legal age you can have sex, don't you think 18 is a bit contradictory ...........

The law is very contradictory over this. 16 is the age of consent, but you can not make, view, shares anything that is regarded as porn until you are 18 ..

Problems is, in an open and free society, how can we place restrictions on things? The law needs to be tighten up. It should be made illegal and prosecutable for under 18s to view or own porn.

This country is so freighted about punishing under 18s year old for anything. No one they think they can, say and do anything they want !

Nope. The beauty of the internet is that all of humanity is reflected in its pages.

"No. Parents should take more responsibility."

I agree with that

My 12 year old has her PC in the living room, I wouldn't allow a child that age in their own bedroom as you don't know what they are looking at, if parents are going to allow kids to lock themselves away with the internet they cant moan when they find things on the history they don't like, its your child its your job, stick their PC in a public room in the house and they wont go looking at things they shouldn't

I think that is so right!

Parents need to have some responsibility in this. I mean you would not let your kids run all over the motorway, but it seems ok to let the wander the internet unsupervised.

But the question is not just about children viewing porn, it is more about adults getting easy access to porn online.

There are two things parents need to/ought to do: first take responsibility and stop blaming what your kids get up to on someone else, and second, leave the Land of Denial and come and join the rest of us in Reality Land... Your kids ARE going to be inquisitive about sex in all it's forms - so deal with it. I had to with my boys..

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

This recent call has been made in light of Mark Bridger and the images found on his computer. The speculation being that his criminal history and his lying didn't indicate a classic case of a child abuser and killer. Having access to so many images and so easily could have acted to increase any propensity he had for child abuse.

It's a big leap.

We are getting for close to a point where cases like this and Woolwich last week just tip opinion in favour of all of our on-line activities being monitored officially. We know that search engines already have the capability to tailor adverts and content to meet our preferences so it's not a huge leap to see the same in profiling us.

My profile is feminism, poverty statistics, shoes and lingerie.

Soon we will have our houses raided not because we have broken any laws but because of our internet habits point to us maybe being bad people.
