Violent pornography showing strangulation to be banned

How exactly is this going to work? Is this basically a porn ban?

Other than political virtue signalling, what does a ban actually achieve?

Anyone with an ounce of digital literacy knows how to use a VPN. Actually, you’d be kind of silly not to use a VPN these days.

Instead of banning things (which wont work given the internet is global and any restriction is easily bypassed) we educate kids on whats right and wrong or acceptable and not.

I nominate myself to be part of the team to watch and see if it contains strangulation.

I would like my office to be a dark room and have a lock on the door

Thx

Utter nonsense.

I’m not into extreme porn, but trying to police what consenting adults watch is absurd.

Where does this policy stop? First face sitting now strangulation, next humiliation, spanking??????

We think a ban will stop children watching this content, it won’t and it never will, the internet will always find away

We need to address the issue in schools and homes, children need to be taught that what is seen online is not representative of the real word.

I mean there has to be a limit right?

Strangulation can be accidentally fatal very easily and can cause medical issues even if not. There’s ethical issues around paying porn actresses to be strangled when they could die from it.

As a society we wouldn’t support stabbing somebody on camera and calling it porn just because some people would get off to it.

Strangulation or any form of asphyxiation play? Haven’t read the article

To make the case for this there needs to be a strong evidence base that watching this type of porn increases cases of non consensual violence.

Is there evidence for this?

You then need evidence a ban would be effectively enforced (difficult) and that it doesn’t create other harms such as pushing people off better regulated websites that check actors are consenting and if legal age towards more unregulated online spaces.

You then need to weigh up the harm from violence against the harm to people’s freedom of expression as a human right.

Would this ban extend to literature where BDSM practices are widespread?

Seems we are living in a new age of censorship of sexual practices.

Porn does seem to be a special category of thing that can warrant a different approach to other content.

The big problem is that porn is still how a lot of people “learn” about sex. People seem generally oblivious to the risks not just of strangulation/asphyxiation but a range of other sexual practices since the only place they see sex is in porn, and there isn’t much content that shows how sex works in real life.

There’s also the reality that with the internet it’s far easier for children to stumble across content that they probably shouldn’t. We regulated film and TV to restrict certain content, so we will regulate online content in the same way. Not many people are complaining about the watershed or the existence of 15/18/R18 film/game classification as some horrible impost on adults.

People say that a ban like this can’t be enforced, but already the major porn platforms do geo-restrict certain content. That makes some difference. Yes, you will still find all the dodgy and illegal stuff out there if you look hard enough but when it’s off the major platforms it makes it harder to stumble across. It makes it generally less common.

The reality is that we have regulated media basically forever, and there probably is, on balance, some good in regulating what content is available for consumption. The kind of free for all that the early internet gave us couldn’t last and as we figure out how the new media landscape fits in with our broader culture, we’ll likely continue to regulate it.

Or maybe we just need some 70s style public education films showing the horror of sex strangling gone wrong, or the tragic effects of a2m etc.

The government made a law due to strangulation porn but they failed to actually mention strangulation leaving it only illegal if it appeared to risk fatality.

Edit – sexual strangulation scenes in films ‘Filth’ and ‘Frenzy’

This is a stupid ban pushed out by dinosaurs and I wish Baronesses were stripped of their ability to write “reports” which dictated government policy after the Cass report turned out to be a bigoted disaster which didn’t even include the views of trans people or doctors who treated them.

I think just about every woman I’ve been with has begged me to choke them and none of them were the porn watching type.

Can we instead focus our resources on doing things to _actually_ combat hate and violence against women? Perhaps by reforming education around it? Offering widespread prevention programs?

People are disgusting, I don’t care about your “kinks” and firmly believe live and let live…. But the normalisation of choking, spitting and other degrading acts under the guise of freedom … Is fucking gross and such a weird thing to promote – even in this very thread.

The police can’t even stop CP being shared on Discord servers either because of incompetence or lack of manpower now there increasing the work load by 10???

Violent new arrival strangles someone? Let off with a warning

Two consenting adults engage in consensual sexual act recording themselves? STRAIGHT TO JAIL

So what does this mean? If a guy holds a woman’s throat in any capacity, it’s illegal? Is deep throating illegal too?

They need to release more information on what exactly constitutes “violent pornography”.

Can an adult possess videos of these “illegal” activities?

Violent pornographeeeey

Choking chicks and somomeheyhey

This won’t change anything, people are still going to be doing this kinky people gonna kink.
