MP to Push for Ban on Violent Online Pornography

MP Calls for Ban on Choking Scenes in Online Pornography A Labour MP, Jess Asato, is calling for a change in the law to ban choking scenes in online pornography. She argues that these scenes contribute to a rise in violence against women and girls. Asato plans to present her proposal in Parliament next week. "Choking scenes in online pornography have become a vector for violence against women and girls," Asato told GB News. "This isn't the sort of pornography people might have been used to in the 1980s. We're talking about extreme, violent acts against women in pornography." Asato points out the inconsistency of current laws. While such scenes are illegal in offline pornography, they remain legal online. She aims to close this loophole and ensure consistent regulation across all platforms. Asato's proposal is likely to spark debate. However, her concerns highlight a growing awareness of the link between violent online content and real-world harm. Her commitment to pursuing legislative change demonstrates a proactive approach to protecting women and girls.
