Despite all predictions to the contrary, the Conservative
Party has won the general election with enough seats to form a majority government. This means that the Conservatives will have
the wherewithal to deliver on their manifesto promises which included:
- “We will stop children's exposure to harmful sexualised content online, by requiring age verification for access to all sites containing pornographic material and age-rating for all music videos.”
- “We will work to ensure that search engines do not link to the worst-offending sites.”
That these commitments were included in the Conservative
Party Manifesto is because you have made it clear, through your actions and
your much valued support for Mediawatch-UK, that these are important issues. Your voice has been heard and it has been
heeded.
Moving forward we must now make sure that we hold the new
Conservative government to their promises and ensure that these important
measures to protect our children are enacted swiftly.
