Three quarters of UK women support the Government's proposals to make internet porn 'opt-in', according to a new survey from market research company Kantar.
The study, reported by The Telegraph and others also discovered that two-thirds of women feel that new laws are required to deal with the problem of online trolling.
When Kantar asked whether people were in favour of the internet porn opt-in proposals they found, perhaps unsurprisingly, that the response from men was not so in line with the Government's plans. Here's what they discovered:
Men
43% in favour of 'opt-in' porn proposals
23% 'strongly' in favour
Women
75% in favour of 'opt-in' porn proposals
59% 'strongly' in favour
Mothers were discovered to be especially concerned about porn with 71% in favour of better internet controls to protect their children, whilst only 57% of childless women backed such plans. Older women were found to feel even more strongly as 94% of the over 65s who were questioned said they supported the opt-in proposals.
Anti-trolling laws
We all know how unpleasant and damaging trolling can be to those on the end of it. 7% of the women in this particular sample had suffered some sort of trolling, and a whopping 83% said that new legislation is required to tackle the trolling problem.
But as before, it's women who feel more strongly about the proposals, with 67% of women backing new laws in comparison to just 48% of men.
