Tighten up or sign of the times?

1. This was after the 9pm watershed.
2. A warning was given before the show.
3. If children were watching that is the parents fault.
4. Hardcore pornography can be streamed to any TV by anyone who wants it.
5. Nobody was forced to watch it.
6. There are now literally hundreds of channels, if you do not like it, turn over or off.

A bit of a pointless article. More about the author parading his moral superiority than a serious question about regulation. Though I am not sure what is superior about seeking out and watching the filth, and then complaining loudly about it.

I wouldn't describe the sex scenes seen on TV as 'filth'

Didn't see it. A programme called Love Island doesn't sound the sort of thing I'd be interested in. But I prefer minimal censorship from someone else telling me what I can and can't watch, so folk doing what comes naturally shouldn't be an issue.

I don't think the demographic of AB will produce a balanced view. IMO, it's a sign of the times and a very healthy one too.

I'm not a voyeur and wouldn't watch it, but if others want to, that's up to them
