BBC News has an article about the fine line between porn that is kinky and porn that is illegal under a new law, the Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill, that will get its final reading this week.
The new law defines extreme pornography, which will be declared illegal under the new law as...
- An act which threatens or appears to threaten a person's life
- An act which results in or appears to result in serious injury to a person's anus, breasts or genitals
- An act which involves or appears to involve sexual interference with a human corpse
- A person performing or appearing to perform an act of intercourse or oral sex with an animal
This law has been drafted in a hurry, rushed through, not properly considered, and an overreaction. This law makes criminals out of consumers, rather than producers, which still applies by the way in the 1959 Obscene Publications Act.
There is no way that any government should be interfereing in people's private lives. Censorship is a no-no.
