A campaign to 91裸聊视频渃hild-proof porn91裸聊视频� by locking down unsecured wireless networks could kick off in Chilliwack before going nationwide 91裸聊视频� 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.

91裸聊视频淲e are not on a crusade against porn,91裸聊视频� Jocelyn Thomas, a Primary Prevention committee member of the CYC. 91裸聊视频淲e are not against sex. In fact our committee took a vote 91裸聊视频� and we recommend it!91裸聊视频� she added with a laugh. 91裸聊视频淲e are on a crusade not to let porn be the default sex educator for our society.91裸聊视频�

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 91裸聊视频渦sed their device91裸聊视频� at school to watch pornography.

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

91裸聊视频淲e think businesses and public places also need to find ways to block porn sites,91裸聊视频� Thomas continued. 91裸聊视频淲e think porn should be accessed through third-party authentication. We call this child proofing porn.91裸聊视频�

The committee91裸聊视频檚 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.

91裸聊视频淲e need allies to help make this a national issue,91裸聊视频� Thomas said. 91裸聊视频淲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.91裸聊视频�

She pointed out that Chilliwack was just selected to host a 91裸聊视频楥ities Fit for Children91裸聊视频� conference.

91裸聊视频淐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?91裸聊视频� Thomas asked. 91裸聊视频淚 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.91裸聊视频�

The presentation was received by council, with Mayor Ken Popove commenting: 91裸聊视频淲ell said and with good information.91裸聊视频�

Coun. Bud Mercer said he was not surprised but he was 91裸聊视频渟till shocked,91裸聊视频� to hear about the free access.

91裸聊视频淚s it epidemic?91裸聊视频�

Thomas said she didn91裸聊视频檛 want to call out the name of the businesses.

Coun. Jason Lum said it was correct to call the challenge an 91裸聊视频渆pidemic,91裸聊视频� as someone who works in the information tech industry.

91裸聊视频淪ociety as a whole needs to take it seriously,91裸聊视频� he said, adding that something is needed to balance the public91裸聊视频檚 increasing need demand for wireless access as a right.

It could be 91裸聊视频渞obust content filtering91裸聊视频� as part of the answer.

Coun. Jeff Shields said he thought there must be a number of businesses 91裸聊视频渨ho have no idea that91裸聊视频檚 what people are using their wifi for,91裸聊视频� and he thanked the presenters for bringing it to the city91裸聊视频檚 attention.
