A new survey has found that young men are increasingly supporting restrictions on online pornography.

A man from Loughborough has been jailed after he repeatedly encouraged a vulnerable woman he met online to kill herself for his own sexual gratification.

UK media regulator Ofcom has launched formal investigations into two porn websites, citing concerns that they may be breaching new child protection rules under the Online Safety Act.
