Ofcom takes the pornosurfen problematic because many underage teens BlackBerry’s have. For them pornography can be filtered by the providers, in the opinion of the authority. “We are very concerned about and want to make it as quickly as possible,” a spokesman against the British newspaper.

While British providers pornofilters have that work on iOS and Android, not BlackBerry OS, because all the internet traffic from BlackBerry’s encrypted.
