A minority of web users in UK still have access to the websites showing child abuse in spite of the government’s assurance to ban them, key children’s charities asserted on Monday.
The Children’s Charities’ Coalition on Internet Safety (CHIS), which includes The Children’s Society, The NSPCC, and Barnardo’s, stated that it was really worried that few Internet Service Providers (ISPs) still let its customers to have access to the child abuse websites.
Commenting upon the behalf of the Coalition, Zoe Hilton, NSPCC’s policy advisor, said in a statement, “Over 700,000 households in the UK can still get uninterrupted and easy access to illegal child abuse image sites.
Allowing this loophole helps to feed the appalling trade in images which feature real children being seriously sexually assaulted.”
Along the same line, Ms Hilton called for some strict measures from the government so as to ensure that the ISPs should stop showing any online content on child abuse.
