    Isn’t this the same country that has a pedo prince, and ties to the biggest pedo ring in modern history? Something about a Seville too…

      No.

      and ties to the biggest pedo ring in modern history?

      I take it you mean Epstein? In which case plenty of countries have ties but predominantly US.

      Something about a Seville too…

      We do like our oranges and Spanish holidays.

        The way I read it is that possession of the material is illegal, not sharing or recording. Possession. In Denmark possession of CSAM was made illegal and it lead to police being forced to prosecute people who accidentally uncovered CSAM and wanted to report it. I haven’t heard of specific cases, but if you want to report existence of CSAM on a CD that is in your hands which you found in the attic of a home you just moved into the police will tell you to destroy it immediately and forget about it because the law can’t distinguish between the owner of the CSAM and the current temporary person that possesses it and reports it. The UK law sounds like it will create the same issue (not that I am arguing that consensual BDSM = CSAM. Far from it. I just fear the consequences could be transferrable to this law and outlawing possession of bits and bytes is always a problem).

        I btw couldn’t find face sitting on the list of outlawed kinks, so those who are into that are safe for now.

          there’s websites that are deleting face sitting as it’s unclear if it can be legally viewed as suffocation, so it’s a classic morality law that uses vague language to get broad self censorship happening.

            The vagueness is absolutely a problem and in morality laws might even be an intended side effect.

            This source though interprets it differently saying that having a hand at the throat without actual choking isn’t covered but do note the keyword seems to be is splattered all over the page. (PS. The page is SFW but I don’t know about the rest of the site).

            No matter what this is an inch away from being a straight up though police law.

              it’s not intended as a side effect, it’s a very well known tactic in law writing that goes back to some of the earliest laws humans ever made, the point of vauge language in law is to have wider appeal, and to claim arbitrary power by the law giver.

              edit: just adding that part of that arbitrary power is getting people to behave in extreme ways outside of the scope of the legal system ‘just in case’. so, people deleting face sitting porn to comply with ‘no strangulation’ even though there’s no language to explicitly say so, and no legal reason to do so.

          The fuuuuuck? Even in america, the stars would have to align for that to happen. The cop would have to dislike you, the prosecutor would have to dislike you (or be gunning for a higher political position and you’re an easy mark for being tough on child criminals), the jury would have to hate you (or be really dumb and not believe you took the material to the cops in the first place), AND you would have to be dumb enough to not realize how hated you are in your local area and still give them the rope to hang you with.

          what’s odd is that creation or sharing is only possible with possession. seems like that’s why the used that word/concept on its own?

    I did a deep dive into this last week. Part of the confusion is because facesitting got banned a decade ago, in 2014. There was a protest where sex workers sat on faces outside Parliament and everyone sang Monty Python’s Sit On My Face. The ban was overturned in 2020, then relitigated nowadays in 2026 when a new law banned suffocation. A popular porn website I’ve never heard of before last week said facesitting is suffocation, hence the current internet drama.

    Folks, your face sitting is still perfectly legal, but you may have to go to court to argue it, because there’s no precedent establishing it yet.

    With this new law effect in the UK, does that mean that most of Totally Spies is banned there?

    Nah, he plausibly can breath so it’s okay, if I understand the stupid bill’s logic.

    “What if the half-pints (who shouldn’t be on those soites without a porno loicense anyway!) learn the wrong way to have a mad hatter!”
