Insane content censorship destroying people’s ability to make a living. Great one, UK.
You must log in or # to comment.
So from the article it seems like the law penalizes possession of certain content so some sites flagged and removed bunch of videos to avoid legal issues. I guess they don’t have the resources to watch their entire library and decide to purge it just in case.
Sounds like an issue between content creators and the sites they used for monetization. Not sure if it’s government’s job to make sure people can make money on sites like youtube or only fans.
Thats a fucking joke of a law
So calling a genocide a genocide and pictures of oral sex are illegal in the UK, but genocide and far-right nationalists are okie-dokie?
I’ve never been more embarrassed for thinking labour would be better
They are, the bar is just plummeting.
The Tories wanted to bring back fucking conscription.
Where’s James Cameron when you need him
Being James Cameron.
Purge the Saxon filth and string their so called nobility high. Brittania Delenda Est.
But no in all seriousness fuck these whoresons and bastardsdoters with an IED, here’s hoping the English can take a lesson from the IRA.
As someone who grew up in auld Iceni territory, fuck the Romans man. We should’ve never given up the tribes. Give me a sickle and some mistletoe.
Oh I definitely agree, I’d be doing my ancestors wrong if I didn’t loathe them a bit. But one must admit they had some solid fucken quotes, also I actually do like the Eastern Romans after all they employed some of my more northern ancestors without fucking them over. Note one of my ancestors was a Harmon and they were claiming to be descendants of Arminius as early as the 800s.
You may want to reconsider using “whoresons” as an insult while trying to defend sex workers. Kind of sends a bit of a mixed message.
Ya know what you ain’t necessarily wrong. Maybe I shouldve thrown corpo in front of that one.
Laws like this are always a slippery slope. Wishing folks in the UK the best of luck trying to turn this around.
oi guv in civilized lands we can just ban nazis then innit
look inside
this
also there’s still nazis somehow
Nazis just free speech innit
Facesitting too much naughty waughty tabooey wooey
Half mast is hilarious
I believe a porn ban entire point would be to have no mast wouldn’t it
I don’t have a strong opinion on this, since I’m so detached from the whole thing. Isn’t that literally the point? If sex work is banned, then people who worked in that industry can’t keep making a living in that industry. So?
Equivalent to “gun shop workers can’t make a living anymore after firearms ban”. No shit.
Why shouldn’t sex workers be able to make a living in that industry?
That isn’t the issue with this or the debate. The issue is that there is a ban at all.
I agree, and congrats on being the only person to read my comment correctly!
I wrote that in reply to the OP text.
Sex work will always happen, the only thing making it illegal accomplishes is making sex work much more dangerous for the worker.
Much more dangerous for everyone involved probably
Sex work is still legal in the UK.
This is like the government banning “topless nudity” and waking up to find a site has deleted any pictures showing exposed shoulders.
My fault for not reading past the headline… But also, the way it’s written kind of sounds like the way I interpreted it, doesn’t it?
Can you shoot up a school with a porn video?
No but you can sure as shit shoot a porn video at school!
Only one way to find out!
Edit: no, you can’t, but you still get arrested
Why should it be banned? Has the legalistic approach to this ever worked anyway?
Cocaine is banned, so nobody makes a living in that industry, right?
All drugs should be legal and regulated.
Not legally, no. And if the government/police starts really cracking down on cocaine dealers, would you feel bad for the ‘honest, hard-working’ drug dealers who just can’t make a living in this industry anymore?

Yes
what a braindead take. you actually just skipped history entirely didnt you? look up prohibition for a summary of what happens when you try to make anything people are motivated to do illegal. literally all it accomplishes is wasting a fuck load of government money, handing money and power to drug dealers, and getting a ton of people hurt. the harder you try to enforce it the more money and power you hand to people willing to break the law to meet the demand and the more money and effort you waste.
You are twisting my words. I never said it was a good idea or a good law. I was mostly replying to the text in the OP.
