A new bill in Nova Scotia would help protect children from the harmful effects of pornography.
MLA Allan MacMaster has introduced a bill that would require Internet service providers to take steps to limit children’s exposure to pornography. Bill 61 would require Internet service providers to automatically block pornography in locations where children can access free wi-fi. As well, a new broadband account would have a content filter to automatically block pornography until an adult account holder changes the settings. The bill would also require Internet service providers to contact existing to give them the option of installing a family-friendly content filter.
Bill 61,
Protecting Children on the Internet Act, was introduced on September 25, 2018.
