The Police Women and Children’s Bureau is to submit a list of pornographic websites to the Juvenile Court in Battaramulla on Monday as part of the initial step to ban access to porn websites via mobile phones.

The Juvenile Court had yesterday ordered the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC) to ban access to porn websites via mobile phones following a case filed by the Police Women and Children’s Bureau.

Sources at the Bureau told Daily Mirror online that as part of the initial step, a list of websites to be banned will be handed over to the Juvenile Court on Monday.

Meanwhile when contacted by Daily Mirror online, TRC Director General Anusha Palpita said a proposal has been made to use filters in order to restrict the access to porn websites via mobile phones.

However he cautioned that the filtering process could affect the speed of internet access on mobiles. (Daily Mirror online)

Who said it is impossible to block porn sites? In Saudi Arabia they have successfully blocked all porn related sites ... even proxies. So it is 95% possible! The government has to do something to stop kids accessing these sites!

its all great comeing up with these ideas to please the older generations.but the implementaion is the most difficult part.

pasan Thursday, 19 August 2010 04:20 PM

Last year there was a such a case and they published the names of the websites!. So people who actually did not no the popular ones got to know about them. Anyone can access these with a proxy

MagodisThuma Thursday, 19 August 2010 03:40 PM

Some steps to bring up good futures and it should be coupled with better education and spiritual values.

Shafran Thursday, 19 August 2010 11:31 AM

Whats the use? U can still use the search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing to search for pornography images...

Tm Abay Thursday, 19 August 2010 11:24 AM

suwimal Thursday, 19 August 2010 11:03 AM

Of course! Middle east has blocked the the view of their women too by wrapping them in black clothes.

chris Thursday, 19 August 2010 10:55 AM

Tm Abay Thursday, 19 August 2010 10:55 AM

DHA Thursday, 19 August 2010 10:53 AM

citizen1 Thursday, 19 August 2010 09:36 AM

This porn story is getting old.

Ibnu Batuta Thursday, 19 August 2010 10:43 AM

Too many holes are there in the net.

Ruwan Ferdinandez Thursday, 19 August 2010 10:38 AM

Just ask Mangala.

Maruwa Thursday, 19 August 2010 10:36 AM

Better, introduce a new package for the kids site with educational wise to improve their general knowledge.

HK Thursday, 19 August 2010 10:35 AM

Yes "yakkos" sri lankans not forgetting the australians ;)

basheer Thursday, 19 August 2010 10:34 AM

the reason for giving the list is to help our politico porn stars to get better ideas. half of our politicos are clueless how internet works and the rest dont actually care

Modawansa Thursday, 19 August 2010 10:25 AM

Please provide me the addresses of the sites.

Bakamoona Thursday, 19 August 2010 10:24 AM

I think it is possible to block all porn sites 'cos some Middle East countries have done that and it works well.

Rukshan Thursday, 19 August 2010 10:22 AM

They should've consulted ICTA's help for this case. Without knowing the technology court order will be useless.

Vishan Alvis Thursday, 19 August 2010 10:04 AM

Why should parents in the 1st place purchase sophisticated mobiles for kids? If the phone is provided to the kid to be contacted in an emergency, then there are plenty of basic units by popular brands available in the market. Parents should be responsible. I'd say the courts should bill the parents & warn 'em of subsequent consequences.

Gayan Samarasekara Thursday, 19 August 2010 10:01 AM

Fun at its best.. There are plenty of porn sites. No way to ban them all..

B.B. Marasingha Thursday, 19 August 2010 09:58 AM

Ban welcome but the restriction technologically infeasible.

Den Thursday, 19 August 2010 09:55 AM

There are lot of anchor free softwares in Internet... It's very hard to block those sites. Unless they introduce a limited package for kids...

spark Thursday, 19 August 2010 09:50 AM

Typical idiots who do not know the reality of porn websites. Their are almost 100 sites mushrooming everyday and that cannot be controlled. Clamping on todays websites is different to the sites that mushroom tomorrow. Only yakko's of Sri Lanka will have the brains to activate this type of solutions.
