MDA engages services offering online video content to ensure that they carry the necessary safeguards, such as
local age ratings, consumer advice, and access controls, to aid parental guidance and to protect the young from
inadvertent access to mature content. For content services offering certain mature content, such content is
required to be locked by default and only accessible with a PIN set by the subscriber.
Since 2012, MDA has made it mandatory for local Internet Access Service Providers (“IASPs”) to inform and offer
optional Internet parental control services to subscribers when they sign up or renew their residential and mobile
broadband Internet subscriptions. This requirement will be further enhanced by end 2016. IASPs will be required to
offer these subscribers optional network level Internet parental controls services that come with up to a six-month
free trial. For subscribers who opt to subscribe to these services, IASPs will need to filter by default content
containing "sexually explicit material, violence and gore".
