The home page of Google and every other search engine used in the UK would be obliged to display links to information on how to search the internet safely under new proposals backed by the Government.
Sites such as YouTube that host videos uploaded by users will also have to screen their content more vigorously for harmful material, and every computer sold in Britain will have to have clear guidance to parents on how to set up software that can regulate how their children use the internet.
The wide-reaching new measures are among a number put forward in a report commissioned by the Prime Minister into the risks posed by the widespread use of the internet by children and the dangers associated by violent computer games.
