This article focuses on the negative issues of what is available on the internet, in this case pornography, and the impact it has on underage children. Ofcome suspended the website 'Jessica Pressley' for offering free hardcore pornography as it would have negative effects on under 18's. The website broke the rules as it was providing a free to view adult content without a pay wall which is unacceptable as it is not protect young children from viewing harmful videos.
A spokesman from Ofcome stated, "we take the protection of under 18's from inappropriate content extremely seriously. This an area of key concern for us, reflected in the swift action we took to suspend this particular website". In relation to this quote, parents may agree with Ofcom as it is harmful to show adult content videos online for free which would have negative impacts on children, thus it is their duty to shut the website down in order to protect their children. Notably, the protect of under 18s from inappropriate content is a priority for Ofcome and therefore they have every right to shut the website down.
Evidently, I agree with Ofcom closing the website down as it is wrong for them to provide free sexual adult content videos which can be harmful as children from a young age can access it. Thus, in order to protect children, website showing pornographic videos should not be providing it for free access as they could be aware of young children.
