Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Knesset approves the first reading of a bill that could facilitate the blocking of pornographic content in Israel.
The amended version of the legislation, sponsored by Likud MK Miki Zohar and Jewish Home MK Shuli Moalem-Refaeli, will require internet service providers to ask users to what extent they wish to block pornographic content, if at all,
The earlier version of the bill that was unanimously approved by the Ministerial Committee for Legislation in late October required internet service providers to block pornographic content by default and only lift site filtering at the user’s request.
The bill clears the plenum with 18 lawmakers in favor, 12 opposed.
It requires two more votes to become law.
