Is there too much sex and violence on TV?

Ofcom has published figures showing that while it's still relevant in protecting kiddies from the worst televisual excesses, viewers are increasingly tolerant of sex, violence and bad language.
"In the past five years, there have been falls in the number of viewers saying there is 'too much’ violence (35% of adult viewers in 2013, down from 55% in 2008), sex (26% in 2013 versus 35% in 2008) and swearing (35% in 2013 versus 53% in 2008) on TV."
At the same time however, the british government enforced online censorship to "protect children" from sex and violence. Obviously people don't really care about it much at all. On the other hand, TV stations are easier to control compared to the Internet where everybody can make content available.
