SYDNEY — Australia is giving the internet industry six months to come up with an enforceable code detailing how it will stop children seeing pornography and other inappropriate material online or face having a code imposed on it, a regulator said on July 2.

The code should set standards for how app stores, websites including pornography and dating websites, search engines, social media platforms, chat services and even multi-player gaming platforms check that content is suitable for users, the commissioner said. Measures covered by the code protecting children from pornography could include age verification, default parental controls and software which blurs or filters unwanted sexual content, the regulator said.

"But it can't all be on them. We also need industry to play their part by putting in some effective barriers," she added.
