Submission + - UK Announces Criminalisation of "Extreme Porn&
An anonymous reader writes: The UK Government has published plans to criminalise possession of "extreme pornography". The law would apply whether the images showed real or simulated violence, and would cover private images of acts between consenting partners. The law would also apply to screenshots taken from a legal film, if the screenshot was made for erotic purposes. The law forms part of the Criminal Justice and Immigration bill.
The bill has been promoted by groups such as mediawatch-uk. Backlash opposes the law. This bill follows from plans initially announced last August.
