BT blocking a ‘staggering’ 10,000 attempts to access child porn each day

BRITISH Telecom says it is blocking up to 10,000 attempts each day to access child porn.

Its figures provide the first firm evidence of the extent of web paedophilia, which BT is targeting with its Clean Feed system.

The Internet Watch Foundation called the figures “staggering” and said children were being abused in order to supply the hardcore images.
