The Guardian reports that David Cameron is poised to announce the launch of a "whistleblowing" website designed to make it easy for parents and members of the public to lodge complaints about the "sexualisation" of TV programmes, advertising and products that may be inappropriate for children. The website will act as a one-stop online "triage" centre for the public to lodge complaints about content, products, services and advertising – by pointing visitors in the direction of appropriate regulators such as Ofcom and the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA).
