Sky will block "adult content" by default for all new customers, the company has announced.
Sky said the move would result in "much greater use of home filters", but customers could still opt-out if they wanted to.
35% of existing Sky Broadband households have the porn filters on already, compared to 12% of Virgin, 14% of TalkTalk and 6% of BT.
The broadcast giant said it will now email all existing customers, asking them if they would like the filter to be switched on.
If the email is ignored, Sky’s policy is to turn on the filter automatically, as it did following a similar email sent in January, when all customers who joined prior to November 2013 were contacted.

Please don't call it a porn filter - that implies it works. It wont block all porn. It will block a lot of stuff that isn't.
Not sure how this might mpact Virgin customers in any way?
Where Sky leads, Virgin Media follows...
