BT, Sky, TalkTalk & Virgin Media have published a Code of Practice developed from talks between ISPs, Government, NGOs and parents’ and children’s groups. It follows a recommendation in the Bailey Review that ISPs should make it easier for parents to block access to adult and age-restricted content.
