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.

    i feel like i am fine with them making rules about like published porn like this in principle

    I think the part where it says the possesion is illegal much more concerning. Like so if you film this in private for yourself, it would be a crime? Laws should only restrict what you can do privately, if it is absolutly necessary. To do what you want in private, is what freedom truly means. Everything else is tyranny.
