U.K. Proposes Ban on Extreme Online Adult
LONDON ? It took Liz Longhurst almost two years of campaigning, gathering signatures, speaking with public officials and crying silently on national television, but her dreams of seeing new anti-pornography law enacted in the United Kingdom are very close to coming true, according to official statements from the British Government Tuesday.
Under new proposals announced by Home Office minister Paul Goggins, all forms of violent or obscene pornography ?acquired electronically? will be illegal in the United Kingdom. The law looks to fill what many in the country consider a loophole in efforts to combat extreme pornography. Though producing extreme adult websites has been illegal in Britain for years, viewing such sites has not ? something Goggins hopes to change with his new proposals.
