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.
what does any of that have to do with finance?
why is the financial secretary to the treasury giving opinions?
She used to be the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Safeguarding - one of their remits is "tackling violence against women and girls" of which pornography is included. It is also a conservative thing to promote safety and purity to the public, something Labour has also aligned with.
