The government is acting fast to queries related to child sex abuse images on the Internet.

Soon, the New Zealand Internet service providers will receive a filtering system to block the sites that host such images. 

As per Internal Affairs deputy secretary Keith Manch, the initiative taken by the government comes as a reply to community expectations for the government to do more in providing a safe Internet environment.

He continued that whosoever will try to visit websites, which provide child sex abuse pictures, would be reverted back with screen messages that would warn the site has been blocked because it is illegal.

Mr. Manch said that this step will come as a tool to fight against the sexual abuse of children. The internet service providers would receive the filtering system within the next few months.
