Staff at the Department of Conservation have been blocked 148 times from accessing pornography websites since the end of January. During July 31 and August 30 there were 51,000 attempts to access other blocked sites that fell under 19 different categories. URLs for porn sites were frequently embedded in legitimate sites which meant people could be referred or directed to blocked sites, she said. Last week the Government confirmed it would be cracking down on online pornography sites. The main focus was on policy options preventing harm to children and young people from online pornography.
