US EditionViolent Pornography Showing Strangulation to Be Banned
- On June 18, 2025, the UK government unveiled proposals to criminalise pornography that features strangulation, as part of efforts to address the rise of violence targeting women and girls.
- This decision follows the Independent Porn Review by Baroness Gabby Bertin, which noted that violent pornography normalises strangulation and called for stricter online content regulation.
- Survivors shared experiences of non-consensual choking during sex, describing fear, numbness, and lasting trauma, while experts linked such acts to learned behaviour from violent porn.
- Minister Alex Davies-Jones emphasized that showing strangulation during sexual activity poses serious risks and is humiliating, highlighting the importance of safeguarding those affected.
- The ban aims to reduce violence against women by removing harmful content that fuels dangerous sexual behaviours and underscores the government's commitment to tackling misogyny.
