Online porn now blocked in 10 million after Talk Talk introduces controversial smut screen

 Want to get turned on? Then you'll need to make an EMBARRASSING choice to lift porn bar

Almost one in six British homes will no longer have automatic access to online pornography after Talk Talk became the latest internet provider to introduce a digital filth filter.

Any customers who want to watch porn will now have to ask for the smut screen to be pulled off their account.

Sky has already vowed to implement a blue movie ban which will come into force this week, with a mandatory opt-in required from anyone who wants to see naughty content.

This leaves BT and Virgin as the only major internet providers which offer access to sex flicks as standard.

Both Talk Talk and Sky's bonking barrier was introduced following David Cameron's call to rid British homes of porn. 

Alex Birtles, head of external communications for Talk Talk, said that "nearly all" of Talk Talk's customers have made the decision about whether to allow porn into their homes.

"Filters will only ever be applied if the customer has consented and they’re able to change their mind or edit their level of protection at any point," she wrote.

"In fact, we actively encourage customers to amend their settings, because what level of protection a family needs will change over time as children mature or move away.

The porn block has already provoked accusations of censorship.

"Censorship should never be turned on by default," said Jim Killock, executive director of the Open Rights Group.

"Filters block all kinds of websites, including some that provide useful advice to children and young people."

According to ISP Review, Sky has 5.3million customers and Talk Talk has 4.2 million.
