Eircom urged to block child porn sites

IRELAND’S leading children’s charity has said Eircom should follow British Telecom’s lead and introduce technology to block internet access to child pornography websites.

In the coming weeks, BT will introduce a specially-developed filter system, known as Cleanfeed, which will intercept users’ attempts to access known child pornography sites.

Users will get a “website not found” error message on their screens when they try to load a blocked site.
