UK ministers reportedly reject automatic porn blocking plan

http://j.mp/Z8m4ux  (BBC)

   "Ministers have rejected plans to automatically block internet access
    to pornography on all computers, saying the move is not widely
    supported.  A public consultation found 35% of parents wanted an
    automatic bar while 15% wanted some content filtered, and an option to
    block other material.  But the government says internet providers
    should encourage parents to switch on parental controls."
