New rules on UK Porn : Depiction of Step/foster relationships to be illegal.
-
"Porn that shows or depicts sex between step or foster-relations where one person is pretending to be under 18 will also be captured by the new offences." and possession could lead to 2 to 3 year in prison. Users may like to review what they have and what they download. I am particularly thinking about some of the videos from the SAYUNCLE study in regards to fathers and step-sons.

@octopusuk can't think of a thing more embarrassing than having to explain to a judge why you have a video of two consenting adults having sex in your computer.
-
@ianfontinell I know, but maybe it's better not to have the conversation with the judge in the first place ...
-
good for UK ppl to know
-
noticed this on lpsg. didnt know lpsg is UK
-
The UK is completely bonkers at this point. This wasn’t even a study done by a independent agency or research institute but by some political right wing hack opion.

Labour is a left-wing political party, not right-wing.
While Labour under Tony Blair allowed men to be fully erect in porn, they were also responsible for most of the current banned porn list. The current Labour party is in charge of the UK now.
Baroness Gabby Bertin is a Conservative peer (led the porn review), but only the government can make laws.
-
At the moment, this law applies to England and Wales only.
It will most likely come to Scotland too.
I don't keep up with Northern Ireland, so I have no idea what they are doing.
-
@raphjd Not exactly. UK Parliament makes the laws
-
@raphjd This new law was passed during the previous Conservative government. In the UK laws can take years to come into force and are not generally affected by a change of government.
-
@jokuihmemies OK. I thought step-relationships were also illegal, but I might be wrong. Some of SAYUNCLE brother/step-brother content may be OK then I guess?

friendly reminder that political debate is forbidden~(go thank the guy who called joker jewish

Friendly reminder from the team: please keep this thread to the law itself and what it means for members here. Party politics are off-topic in our forum. Thanks!

i think i kinda understand this type of porn to be banned koz they dont want any mistakes where someone RIP or fetishing incest/roleplays
-
@jokuihmemies nah mate they're insinuating that it is this type of pornography that is turning the teens violent and insecure, they think it is a good idea to censor it instead of teaching about boundaries and consent from an early age. In a few years when nothing has changed they will add more kinks to this stupid law instead of looking at the actual cause, because this is easier to pull off and say you are doing something.

@ianfontinell Bro, you are thinking way to hard into this. It's much simpler. Most porn nowadays has one of those aspects in there. A little bit of choking or incestuous tendencies. Thats a good portion of porn forbidden just like that.
A lot of stuff they are trying to forbid was already so in the industry for many years.
All of them; activists groups like collective shout, look them up.
And if you can find a way to bind a controversial policy to protecting children you have a 99% change it will pass, because who doesn't want to protect children.

At the end of the day I doubt anyone will have a reason to be concerned about any of this. I think it was about 12 years ago when they announced a ban on many things including face-sitting porn. Obviously, being British loads of people turned up outside parliament and proceeded to squat on each others faces (fully clothed) to show how stupid it was.
As I understand it it the end result of what was initially announced as a total ban was that it only banned the production of commercial pornography and domestically-hosted streaming of on-demand pornography featuring such acts, not something that I think would concern most torrent sites or people making or hosting it for their own viewing pleasure.
Sometimes it does rather feel like Mary Whitehouse has been turning in her grave for so long that she got bored and climbed out to go for a piss though.
