The Australian is investigating implementing age verification to access porn online [news.com.au] following a failed UK age verification scheme. Children’s charity eChildhood claims that “a third of students aged eight and under attempted to access online pornography in the past six months” including through advertising popups. Advocacy group Collective Shout said UK research found 28 per cent children aged 11 to 12 had seen pornography online. In the 15 to 16 age group, the number jumped to 65 per cent. No mention has been made about how effective the Australian plan will be and what exact measures may be taken to block access online.
