Petition Take action to restrict online access to pornography strictly to over 18s

Studies show that pornography can have serious adverse effects on individuals and their relationships. It is too easy for under 18s to access pornography online, and we want the Government to take action to ensure that it can only be accessed by over 18s.

More details

Online pornography should only be accessible using a Government-issued password or key code that is issued to over 18s. Making pornography available without a requirement to provide this should be a criminal offence.

We also want the Government to run a public awareness campaign about the dangers and risks of using pornography.
