flag UK to ban online porn showing choking or suffocation, making it a criminal offense.

flag The UK plans to ban online pornography depicting choking or suffocation, making both possession and publication criminal offenses under amendments to the Crime and Policing Bill. flag The move, aimed at combating violence against women and girls, classifies such content as a "priority offense" under the Online Safety Act, requiring platforms to proactively detect and remove it or face enforcement by Ofcom. flag The change follows a government review finding widespread depictions on mainstream sites and concerns about normalization, especially among youth. flag The legislation builds on existing laws but strengthens accountability for tech companies, with the ban expected after royal assent.
