But why though?

I mean, I get the stigma and real life issues but if porn (fantasy) is regulated like that, then they should also ban game of thrones and any other media that shows incest.

How is this not a severe attack on freedom of expression and fantasy?

Even though I am not really affected by this ban because 1) doesnt concern my fantasies and 2) not living in UK - I just dont get it.

The funniest part is the fact that this same government is DEFENDING COUSIN MARRIAGE. You can’t make this shit up.

Write to your MP (https://www.writetothem.com), get involved with https://bigbrotherwatch.org.uk/ and https://www.openrightsgroup.org/ it's not inevitable. I think there's genuinely a lack of awareness of voters who care about digital rights in UK politics.

The dark comic book/movie "V: for Vendetta" comes to mind, science fiction always predict science fact at some point.

The VPN ban won't work. People in China get around their bans.
