Chairperson, with the rapid pace of development and advancement of digital technology comes a responsibility to ensure safe and morally correct accessibility of services. It is a fact that access to sexually inappropriate sites on the internet, cellphones, film and interactive computer games are also accessible by children.
The MF is pleased that this Bill serves to put in place a number of provisions that should address the situation. While the MF believes that parents and guardians also have a very important role to play in preventing the kids from accessing such material, we think that services need to come up with firewalls that will filter such access to pornography.
The MF also feels that with a view to cellphones, parents should be equipped with the means of blocking their children from getting access to these sites. The MF supports this Bill.
