Bill S-210 is a private Senate member’s bill that aims to protect children by requiring pornography sites to verify that their viewers are adults before they give access to their content. It is similar to what is being done or planned in other places like France, the U.K., Germany, and Australia. A previous bill passed in the Senate but died when the election was called last summer. The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada has resources on their website and asks for prayer and financial support as they work to support the passing of this important piece of legislation. You can also ask your MP to support it.
