Spoken on behalf of the Government on BBC Radio 4's Any Questions, the Financial Secretary to the Treasury wants pornography gone from the UK on the basis of protecting women's and girls safety and fighting misogyny in society.
Bear in mind, this is separate from the Online Safety Act about to be enacted and the age verification plan any website not "suitable for children". Also bear in mind VPN's operating in the UK are also required to comply with the law.
The UK Government is about to go to war on pornography and appease both the feminists who believe it is exploitative and harmful to women while turning men into misogynists and the traditional conservatives who also believe it is harming masculinity, encouraging bachelorhood and contributing to the decline in birth rates.
While also pissing off "sex positive" feminists who make said porn. This is going to be glorious and I advise everyone to stock up on plenty of popcorn. Salt will not be required because there will be ample amounts everywhere.
Women will bitch and moan, but ultimately they will fall in line with authority.
Will some pretend not to, and do the "brave" thing and openly defy the law and make porn? Sure. They'll do so knowing the authorities won't punish them in any tangible manner. If anyone gets punished it'll be men involved in it, either production or purchasing. Just look at the much-heralded "nordic model" when it comes to prostitution. Everything's cool unless there's an opportunity to throw men in jail.
I do wonder what will happen to all the women who make money from OnlyFans if this does go ahead? Maybe they'll adapt to a purely "girlfriend experience" sans anything sexual/nudity to adhere to any potential future law.
