Remember this is the UK and not the US. The restrictions on what you can sell in the UK porn market (held on alternate Tuesdays around here when the fruit and veg market isn’t on) are much stricter than the US and a lot of what’s freely available on-line is illegal to sell and actually illegal to possess, even on your hard drive, in the UK. Bondage porn, however classy (!), is illegal, for instance.
There’s also no real protection of free speech in the UK, so Holocaust denial, bomb-making plans and sundry other hate-speech and incitement to violence is all illegal here. Which I’m fine with and which you agree is fair game for filtering, so if the government decides that eg rape porn should be illegal and added to the list of things that we shouldn’t possess, is that really the human rights battle you want to be fighting?
Also, I may just be getting middle-aged.
