Legislate to require internet search filters preventing access to child abuse

Closed 148 signatures

What the petition asks

Child Abuse should not happen, FULL STOP. It is entirely unacceptable that you can stumble across it online by typing the word SEX. A child could do that accidentally. I don't want children seeing that.
Hardware and software manufacturers have a moral responsibility to put filters in place which prevent this ever being found. Legislation is required to demand such filters and protection for our children.
