Ofcom Discussion

Quote:For on demand TV "Content which might seriously impair minors must … only be made available in such a way that ensures that minors will not normally hear or see such on-demand audiovisual media services".

The key word here is "normally". Just as minors will not normally have access to alcohol. ATVOD are trying to ensure minors never have access.

Banks may be willing to issue debit cards, but I suspect the number issued is low. To access pay adult services customers need three things. A payment method. Internet access without parental controls. Somewhere private to watch. Young children should not have these.

Parents can hardly complain if they give their kids debit cards, unlimited internet access and don't check what they are doing.
