The Police Women and Children’s Bureau said that they are hoping to start submitting a list of 100 websites containing pornographic material to be banned each week from next week onward.
According to a senior official of the bureau, they will submit these lists to the Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (TRC) as a move to prevent Sri Lankans from accessing porn on the Net.
He added that, while a handful of websites with pornographic material on Sri Lankan women and children had already been blocked, they would now move to ban websites with porn material on foreigners as well.
The officer said that they were also hoping to monitor these sites over a period of time to see whether they have become re-accessible.
