Can see your concerns Rosie! It's going to be down to whoever elects to use any new law for whatever purpose. The current Obscene Publications Act has already been abused by the Director of Public Prosecutions over the years.
One classic case was when the prosecutor asked a jury, "Would you allow your manservant to read this book?"
Like the jury were all living in the 18th century and had a house staffed by "manservants" and the owner was God who knew best for his "manservants". The prosecution can be equally insane.
There is also an existing "anti" against the net when people can have access to images/movies of actions on a war zone - governments don't like footage of soldiers blowing folks up and this being available to all. The truth hurts and governments would like to kill that and brand anyone watching it as "terrorists".
The climate is not too healthly for rational judgement!
