Claire Perry MP Welcomes Talk Talk's new HomeSafe Service

Today, the TalkTalk group launched a HomeSafe service for its UK internet customers that will provide people with network level control filters that can block out inappropriate content and allow them to protect all internet-enabled devices in their homes at once,

Commenting on the news Claire Perry, MP for the Devizes Constituency said:

"When I started campaigning to make access to internet pornography an "Opt-in", many industry experts said it was technologically impossible to provide a network-level filter. Today, TalkTalk have announced a service that does just that. Their HomeSafe service allows users to set controls for all devices connected to a home network that block out inappropriate content. This is a very significant step forward in our efforts to make internet access safer and I commend TalkTalk for making the service available, free of charge to all of their customers"

Notes:
