A campaign to 香蕉视频直播渃hild-proof porn香蕉视频直播� by locking down unsecured wireless networks could kick off in Chilliwack before going nationwide 香蕉视频直播� if there is enough buy-in.

Two members of the Primary Prevention committee, a sub-committee of Chilliwack Child and Youth Committee (CYC), were at city hall Tuesday pitching that bold idea to council.

香蕉视频直播淲e are not on a crusade against porn,香蕉视频直播� Jocelyn Thomas, a Primary Prevention committee member of the CYC. 香蕉视频直播淲e are not against sex. In fact our committee took a vote 香蕉视频直播� and we recommend it!香蕉视频直播� she added with a laugh. 香蕉视频直播淲e are on a crusade not to let porn be the default sex educator for our society.香蕉视频直播�

The two were at city hall seeking support for securing wireless access sites after finding out many public places and businesses around Chilliwack have unsecured wifi, where degrading and violent porn can be accessed by any kid with a cell phone.

A B.C. Adolescent Health Survey showed that 12 per cent of teens with a phone in 2018 香蕉视频直播渦sed their device香蕉视频直播� at school to watch pornography.

Locking down access and instituting parental controls and content filtering over the household wifi is one way.

香蕉视频直播淲e think businesses and public places also need to find ways to block porn sites,香蕉视频直播� Thomas continued. 香蕉视频直播淲e think porn should be accessed through third-party authentication. We call this child proofing porn.香蕉视频直播�

The committee香蕉视频直播檚 research indicated that unsecured wifi connections could be accessed at the Leisure Centre, as well as some government and health agency locations, and popular businesses. City officials checked on the Leisure Centre wifi situation, and confirmed after the meeting, that it was not the City of Chilliwack wifi that was unsecured, however but that of a nearby business.

Next steps of the committee will include contacting businesses to request that they restrict their wifi.

香蕉视频直播淲e need allies to help make this a national issue,香蕉视频直播� Thomas said. 香蕉视频直播淲e know that jurisdictions in the U.K. are bringing in nationwide third party authentication. People can access porn but they have to produce ID proving they are over the age of majority.香蕉视频直播�

She pointed out that Chilliwack was just selected to host a 香蕉视频直播楥ities Fit for Children香蕉视频直播� conference.

香蕉视频直播淐ould there be a better issue to identify Chilliwack as a city fit for children than to have a national campaign to child proof porn begin right here?香蕉视频直播� Thomas asked. 香蕉视频直播淚 guess you and we hold the answer to that. Our committee would be happy to meet with council if you would like to push foward through the Union of B.C. Municipalities.香蕉视频直播�

The presentation was received by council, with Mayor Ken Popove commenting: 香蕉视频直播淲ell said and with good information.香蕉视频直播�

Coun. Bud Mercer said he was not surprised but he was 香蕉视频直播渟till shocked,香蕉视频直播� to hear about the free access.

香蕉视频直播淚s it epidemic?香蕉视频直播�

Thomas said she didn香蕉视频直播檛 want to call out the name of the businesses.

Coun. Jason Lum said it was correct to call the challenge an 香蕉视频直播渆pidemic,香蕉视频直播� as someone who works in the information tech industry.

香蕉视频直播淪ociety as a whole needs to take it seriously,香蕉视频直播� he said, adding that something is needed to balance the public香蕉视频直播檚 increasing need demand for wireless access as a right.

It could be 香蕉视频直播渞obust content filtering香蕉视频直播� as part of the answer.

Coun. Jeff Shields said he thought there must be a number of businesses 香蕉视频直播渨ho have no idea that香蕉视频直播檚 what people are using their wifi for,香蕉视频直播� and he thanked the presenters for bringing it to the city香蕉视频直播檚 attention.
