The technology industry is taking action to introduce age checks on 6,000 porn sites starting today, which is considered progress. Ofcom will monitor the effectiveness of these measures. This achievement has not been accomplished by any other country so far. We are starting to see not just words but action from the technology industry and we've had 6,000 porn sites say that they're going to introduce age checks from today. So this is real progress. It's not by any means the end of the story. Ofcom's going to be checking that all these measures work but I think we should be pleased with where we've got to today. No other country has pulled this off yet.
