Ban on violent net porn: RIP Mills and Boon?

In other news a killer nurse, up to 80 americans, a baby and a motorbike racer are dead [1] :( And the notting hill carnival, founded according to BBC documentary I watched to in response to race riots fourty years ago, ended in... race riots, well ish :(

[1] Didn't a politician die last week? I thought I saw it on the news, but now can't find any reference?

Indeed.

Though the law is often inconsistent on hte issue of photorealistic fakes, for instance.

And I didn't see that the article said the law was restricted to images only, and still aren't sure, though it seems to imply it. Which does make a difference I hadn't realised.

Just be glad you live in the United Kingdom and not somewhere with a constitutionally protected right to free expression. Ahem. Warning: Salon.com link, meaning those of you not me and with a premium subscription will be annoyed by an ad if you want to read it. Fortunately, I do not expect the American Right's ethos, which appears to be "if it isn't clearly protected in the constitution and it might be fun, then we'll ban it" (which is probably just as well, since we lack a constitution to protect things)

That sentence should end "to catch on over here"
