Nearly 80% of the UK adults with children in their house opposed the default internet porn filter, according to a 10-week public consultation performed by YouGov for the internet provider TalkTalk.
In the interim, about 110,000 Brits have signed a petition demanding internet service providers (ISPs) to block access to pornography by default on computers, mobile phones and tablets.
The UK government’s discussion paper sought people’s views in UK on three expected systems which assist parents filter inappropriate content, which include Opt-in, Active Choice, Active Choice Plus.
The Opt-in option allows homeowners to contact their ISP to have access to adult content, while in the Active Choice rule, the service providers present the users with an inevitable choice about whether they want filters and blocks installed.
The third active choice plus option would merge both systems, allowing users to block some content automatically and would be allowed to unblock as per the requirement,
UK Conservative MP Claire Perry was quoted by BBC as saying that the petition suggests a high level of support for the opt-in idea.
"We quite happily accept watersheds on TV and we are happy to accept adult films sitting behind PIN systems on satellite channels," Perry said.
"Somehow when it comes to the internet, all bets are off and the onus is entirely on the consumer.
"This has been an area where there has been relatively large corporate interests in not filtering, and rather intimidated consumers who are made to feel they should back off."
The survey is also expected to deliver measures to protect children from other harmful sites which include sites which promote suicide, anorexia, gambling, self-harm and violence.
