David Cameron has insisted he is right to oppose a ban on Page 3 pin-ups despite his efforts to tackle online pornography. The prime minister said there was a difference between newspapers, which parents could keep away from children, and the internet, where youngsters could "stumble across" legal but hardcore pornography. Under plans set out by Cameron, the largest internet service providers in Britain will force customers to choose whether to turn off filters that will prevent customers viewing porn. 

In an interview with BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour he insisted there was a distinction between images online and in the pages of a newspaper. He said: "I've said what I've said about Page 3 and the Sun and I haven't changed my views. But should we do more to try and help parents to protect their children from legal pornography on the internet? Yes I think we should, and again last week we made some big progress on that."

Cameron added: "You can control your children's access to newspapers and books and magazines. The problem with the internet is that our children are all online and they're using YouTube and they're searching for videos and the rest of it and there's a danger that they can stumble across really quite, sometimes hardcore legal pornography."

The plan set out with BT, Virgin, Sky and TalkTalk was about "making sure every household is offered a default-on filter to stop those images coming through, and that's what we've enabled". He added: "I think there's a difference between a physical product as I said and the internet and that's why I think this specific action is needed on the internet and that's why I'm driving that.

Personally, I think having the filter is an amazing idea for parents to protect their chikdren , I think David Cameron is a fool because he supports page 3 therefore showing he has no respect for women and he supports how the media degrades women and makes them feel as if they're just sex object's.
