Opposed to the National Council: Commission of the Council of States against network blocking for fallible porn sites

class=”sc-29f61514-0 kHgAwW”>

Instead, porn site providers should be required to advise legal guardians of possible protective measures. The Committee on Transport and Telecommunications of the Council of States (KVF-S) therefore asks its Council to approve an amended motion text by 11 votes to 1 with one abstention, the parliamentary services announced on Wednesday.

In August 2022, the Council of States decided otherwise. At that time she asked her council to accept the motion of National Councilor Niklaus-Samuel Gugger (EPP/HH) without a vote against. The KVF-S described the proposed text blocking in the motion text as “worth checking”. At the same time, she also pointed out that other technical solutions should be considered.

Network blocks can be bypassed

After hearings and on the basis of a joint report from the Legal Committee of the Council of States (RK-S), the KVF-S has now come to the conclusion that a technical access blockade should not be pursued any further. The Bundesrat also does not consider this instrument opportune, he wrote in his rejection of the motion. Network blocking can be easily bypassed.

Network blocks currently only apply to games of chance that are not allowed in Switzerland. At the same time, players can access slot games licensed in Switzerland. In principle, they should not be prevented from playing, but they must take advantage of the legal offers in Switzerland.
