Including possession? What will they do, demand all users in the UK to unlock their devices for regular content scans?
Help me Step Big Brother! I’m stuck with my government in my bedroom!
Oi bruv where’s yer wanking loicense?!
Not yer bruv, mate - I’m yer step-bruv! Fancy a shag?
What are you doing, step-bruv?!
This is against the law, y’all. :(
I may be stateside but i’m still amazed that a party that’s supposed to be truly left-leaning is putting out alt-right policies in the U.K.
The Ministry of Justice said that possessing and publishing porn showing incest between family members and sex between step or foster relatives where one person pretends to be under-18 would be a crime.
So it’s only a crime if they pretend to be under-18, and I haven’t seen any porno where anyone pretends to be under-18. There’s literally a category called barely 18. No one ever pretends to be under, but they do pretend to be barely-18.
Jess Asato, the Labour MP for Lowestoft, said: ‘After many years of campaigning to ensure online pornographic content is subject to the same rules as offline content,
When the fuck was under-18 porn ever legal? WTF? Also, isn’t the age of consent in the UK 16 years old?
What the fuck is the point of this? Why the fuck is it needed? Who is it helping? What is it fixing? NOTHING.
Fucking jokers… Go tax the billionaires and fix the NHS and the cost of the living crisis you cunts .
The thing is they really don’t have grounds to ban “step” porn, but this will make their supporters think “he is going after them gross porn people” while downloading a VPN. It might have a chilling effect on porn producers, for a few minutes, but unless your porn had an actor explicitly state “I’m under 18” you are probably ok. I know this is UK based but the whole point of the law " act cool for my voters" is pretty universal.
If you read further you see this, though:
“Step-incest pornography and that which depicts performers as children is abhorrent”
So it’s not just if they pretend to be under 18. I think. I don’t know. I don’t think they know either. I think they’re trying to score cheap political points.
As always, the first computers you should check when anyone tries to ban consensual porn that harms no one, are the computers of the ones proposing the ban.
Labour had a historical chance after the Tories have fucked it up so much, and they’re just doing shit all the time
Hopefully the Green party can save UK
Is it a crime to fuck your step sister and step mother?
The most interesting thing about this is the fact that step siblings can have legal relationships and even marry under UK law, but depictions of their very legal sex lives are now illegal.
I think someone might challenge this as a human right to expression infringement.
For instance, you and your partner happen to be step siblings, but want to generate income on onlyfans. Now you can’t. Not because you are defacto doing anything illegal.
Also, and here’s where it gets fun…
Imagine you and your partner do make sexy videos but then your respective parents hook up.
The videos were made when you were not step siblings, but now you are.
Where does the law stand there? No one knows.
Where does the law stand there? No one knows.
Be even worse in a few years when the paltry votes they scrounged up with this move are long forgotten and the law continues to punish and hurt people for literally no justifiable reason.
I guarantee we are but months away from a senior labour politician resigning because they are found to have incest porn on one of their devices.
I’m literally saving this comment lol
Teenagers having sex is legal, sharing pictures of it is not.
A person presumed to possess the legal capacity for consent cannot have sex with a person presumed to lack that legal capacity. The teenager is not restricted; the adult is restricted.
When a camera is added, the law becomes inconsistent. The minor lacks the capacity to legally engage in sex, but is now (potentially) culpable in their own exploitation if they video themselves.

This is essentially my understanding of the origin of the trope. When I was growing up, both me and every single kid I knew’s parents were already or in the process of either getting a divorce or remarrying.
So situations like Clueless and Drake & Josh were the norm, and it makes the trope all the more hilarious.
Well how could it not be? Genetically it’s just two random people, what would be the basis of making it illegal if at some point your parents hit off?
The basis to make it illegal is antiquated views of old white men how other people should live their lives according to how they see fit. Nothing more
Ah thus is about the porn nobody is actually a step sibling.
Step-incest pornography and that which depicts performers as children is abhorrent.
Alongside banning strangulation in pornography which the government previously announced, tackling this vile content will make our country a safer place for women and children and shows the UK can lead the world in tackling violence against women and girlsThat’s it folks, step incest is violence against women and girls. Next up, in order to further protect them, they’ll be prohibited from going outside without a man by their side.
Whoever asked “What’s next, BDSM?” - guess what
The government has already made porn that shows women being choked illegal, after a review found videos like these had helped normalise it in real life.
The only silver lining in this whole thing is still only in “planning”
Ministers are also planning to make tech bosses personally liable if their platforms do not remove intimate pictures of people that are posted without consent.
Choking by unskilled people, does lead to permanent injury or death.

Haha, a lot of women I know are gonna be pissed about this…
Ministers are also planning to make tech bosses personally liable
Uh-oh. Some MPs are about to get a call from their uhm… tech bosses.
Stay tuned for more porn advices from your government
And they should know.
Stay tuned for more control of your private life…
This is the hill they die on? This is the issue they threaten to revolt for? Not properly funding the NHS or something else that benefits people?
If that’s what it takes to finally temper the step porn category then so be it. /s
abhorrent step incest porn, sure ban it, but what about good or hot step incest porn? We all know what that is when we see it, right?
And if they want to add a prison scene to the end of thos step incest porn films those pornos then fine. Sounds pervy to me, but I dont judge what other people do in their bedrooms alone that doesnt hurt anyone because thats none of my fucking business, or anyone elses. People (and governments) should just leave other people alone unless it directly affects others.
Starmer seems like a moron with this move.
Someone check in with any step relatives he has, this smacks of projection
