Online pornography showing strangulation or suffocation is to be made illegal, as part of government plans to tackle violence against women and girls.

It follows a review which found depictions of choking were “rife” on mainstream porn sites and had helped normalise the act among young people.

Both the possession and publication of such material will be a criminal offence, under amendments to the Crime and Policing Bill currently going through Parliament.

    Ironic, the person condemning America automatically assumes every article is about America… how American of you.

    Edit: they’ve edited their comment to swap out “America” for “1st world”, “leading mordern nations”, and “the whole modern world” now. Lol I feel like that equivalency is even more ironic
