""Viewing and sharing this kind of material online is not only deeply distressing, it is vile and dangerous," she told the BBC. "Those who post or promote such content are contributing to a culture of violence and abuse that has no place in our society.""
""A review into the effects of \"degrading, violent and misogynistic\" pornography, published in February, suggested that more than a quarter of the nation regularly accessed online porn, with a third of all men watching material at least once a week.""
""You just have to go on the home pages of some of these mainstream sites and you will see all that degrading content, particularly violent towards women," she added."
The Crime and Policing Bill would make pornography featuring strangulation or choking illegal in the UK, elevating possession and publication to a "priority offence" level alongside child sexual abuse and terrorism material. Research and polls indicate rising prevalence of choking during sex among young people, with YouGov and BBC surveys reporting significant percentages of men and women experiencing or performing choking. A February review found substantial regular access to online pornography and identified widespread degrading, violent and misogynistic content on mainstream sites. Some campaigners and campaign groups express scepticism about whether the proposed legislative amendments will be effective.
