Possession and publication of such material will be a criminal offence, under amendments to the Crime and Policing Bill.

Online pornography showing strangulation or suffocation is to be made illegal, as part of government plans to tackle violence against women and girls.

It follows a review which found depictions of choking were “rife” on mainstream porn sites and had helped normalise the act among young people.

Both the possession and publication of such material will be a criminal offence, under amendments to the Crime and Policing Bill currently going through Parliament.

    First they came for the Chokers , And I did not speak out Because I like to breath

    Then they came for the Foot fanatics , And I did not speak out Because I was not into feet

    Then they came for the thigh highs , And I did not speak out Because I was not into socks

    Then they came for the Brazilian cake farts , And there was no one left To speak out for me

      Like, I get it, but this but unironically. The UK has already put a bathroom ban out for trans folks. How long before they ban trans porn because it’s considered harmful? How long before they start to label other trans things as adult and ban those too?
