Il governo britannico annuncia il divieto della “simulazione dell’incesto” nel porno

> The UK government has officially announced a ban on ‘incest simulation’ in porn, as the crackdown on unsafe adult content continues.

> An amendment, which was tabled in parliament today (23 February), means **it will be an offence to possess or publish pornography depicting incest, or sexual activity between family members.**

> Much like recent changes under the Online Safety Act, which brought in age restrictions on popular porn sites across the world for UK users and banned strangulation in videos, it has become a priority offence which means that tech platforms are now expected to take steps to actively stop this kind of content, with hefty fines likely to be introduced for those who fail to adhere to the new rules.

> **Anyone who is found to be in possession of incest pornography could face a maximum sentence of two years in prison, while anyone found to be publishing it could face five years behind bars.**

So this is just the slow roll into probably banning porn, or at the very least any kink that is seen to be “harmful”?

Ban all of the “harmful” porn, then come for all the rest.

Actually baffling to me that people are just chilling while this happens.

Oh look, thing we were explicitly told wouldn’t happen, has happened again.

Newsflash: Starmer announces any sexual positions apart from missionary to be BANNED.

It’s insane how many porn video titles are incest related. But I don’t think a single one really is.
dunno about other people but I browse by the thumbnail anyway 👀

I’m no fan of the “thought police” crowd who use it to justify their actually wrong views on things such as racism and immagration and use it as excuse to harass people, but this government seems to be hell bent on proving them right about unneccsary and oppressive censorship.

Yes, we are talking about a niche type of pornography, but unless you are actively engageing in incest there is nothing wrong about having a weird fantasy, I don’t get it, I definitely didn’t want to fuck my Mum or Aunt, but people who want that fantasy and want to engage with it through a safe medium should be allowed to.

What’s the conviction rate for serious sexual offences? Maybe start with that.

There were sickos long before the internet existed, it’s not the cause. 

My factual, non racist, non hateful comment has been removed! Please all check to see the UK rules on cousin marriage (only applies to certain ‘cultures’)

Genuinely wonder how you justify the idea that throwing someone in prison for watching two consenting adults roleplay as a remotely reasonable response.

I’m going to take a guess its just part of their expanded effort to add more random genres of porn to the no-no list, so if they want to charge someone for say, protesting but can’t get anything to stick they can go through their computer and put them away for watching porn where someones hand was vaguely on someones neck, or someone said ‘daddy’ at some point in the video.

That’s how these laws usually get used like the guy who got dragged to court for watching anal fisting porn where they tried to argue it was “damaging” to the anus and thus counted as ‘extreme’ pornography.

But nothing against the billionaires! Oops I forgot the government is in bed with billionaires who are in bed with other billionaires who are in bed with minors.

So much for a “labour government”. To think of that this was a party of Atlee once.

Why aren’t any real newspapers covering things like this? How have we got to the point were LadBible is an actual source for news?

is everyone here into fucking their brother or something

I don’t look at porn (not so much for ethical or moral reasons, I just prefer to leave things to the imagination!) so I have no idea how much of a ‘problem’ this really is. But I would have thought the government has more pressing issues to deal with than deciding what plots porn films are allowed to have?

The level of deck-chair-rearranging-on-the-Titanic from this government would be comical if the stakes weren’t so high. We have really serious issues right now like migration and the impending collapse of the unsustainable pension system, but the government is too busy with bizarrely specific minutiae like this and banning free refills of sugary drinks in restaurants instead of doing anything useful or meaningful.

Is there any liberal in-group within labour fighting against these authoritarian tendencies? If there is they are mighty quiet. 

I feel like this government are speed-running how to never get elected again… what are they doing?!

Marrying your cousin is worse than a simulation of step brother / sister porn.

This is basically coming from the exact same line of thought at the ‘videogames cause murder’ argument and before that, satanic panic and other things. Continually escalating banning of fictional material under the guide of ‘it promotes harm’ while the actual sex abusers seem to mostly exist unpunished in the roles of company ceos and government. Of course, as more and more things continue to get banned this will of course disproportionately affect the LGBT community (who often include unconventional sexual themes in their art) but that’s probably intentional from a government as awful as this on queer rights.
