The Nigerian House of Representatives has directed the National Communications Commission (NCC) to implement measures to block all pornographic websites in the country. This directive aims to restrict access to explicit content online.
To enforce this, the NCC may collaborate with internet service providers to implement domain filtering and blocking techniques. Additionally, families and individuals can enhance their online safety by configuring DNS settings to filter out adult content. For instance, changing DNS settings to 1.1.1.3 can block malware and adult sites, as recommended by Cloudflare.
It’s important to note that while such measures aim to protect users from explicit content, they may also raise concerns regarding internet freedom and access to information. Engaging in discussions about the balance between regulation and personal freedom can provide valuable insights into the implications of such policies.
