He cautions, however, that the law is written broadly enough that relatively innocuous content could also potentially be penalized.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">\u201cIt would be up to a court to decide this on a case-by-case basis, but given that it would appear that face-sitting by a vagina owner is now arguably suffocation, the insertion of a penis could equally be considered suffocation because it blocks the airways,\u201d he says. In other words, \u201cthe UK could have just banned blow jobs\u201d in online pornography.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Though the law currently applies only to consumers and creators in the United Kingdom, the stiff penalties for \u201cpossession\u201d of such images\u2014which the law defines as an image being stored on a phone, a hard drive, or in cloud storage\u2014is of particular concern to Fattorosi.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">\u201cAs far as creators are concerned, if you visit the UK, if you\u2019re going there on holiday, if you\u2019re going there for a conference, you should probably be careful about what you keep on your phone,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The subscription-based platform OnlyFans is particularly vulnerable, he adds. Though most American porn companies don\u2019t have a substantial presence in the UK, making it difficult for Ofcom to go after them, that doesn\u2019t apply to OnlyFans. The subscription-based platform\u2019s parent company, Fenix International Limited, is based in the United Kingdom and has already <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/technology\/uk-watchdog-fines-onlyfans-operator-14-million-over-age-disclosure-failures-2025-03-27\/\" class=\"text link\">faced steep fines from the agency<\/a> for failure to adhere to age-disclosure requirements.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/a-new-uk-ban-sparks-fears-of-unprecedented-sex-censorship\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThe UK is really pushing for limits on free speech,\u201d says Michael Fattorosi, an adult industry attorney based in Italy. \u201cThis is just something they&#8217;re throwing on top of the heap of restrictions.\u201d In a statement to WIRED, Clara Coleman, a spokesperson for the UK\u2019s Ministry of Justice, denied that the legislation was intended to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10006,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[606,562,298,205,436],"class_list":["post-10005","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-gadgets","tag-content-creators","tag-free-speech","tag-onlyfans","tag-porn","tag-uk"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
