Orange shuts out adult content

Orange UK has started blocking the delivery of adult content to users not registered as over 18, reports The Register.

"The decision follows the launch of the official classification guidelines for adult content, as laid out by the UK's Independent Mobile Classification Body.

"Users wanting to access content now rated 18, such as pornography, violent games or gambling sites, must register their full address and credit card details with Bango.net. Users without credit cards are not able to register as adults: debit cards don't count.
