Brits - canvas your politician to define "EXTREME PORN"

Quote:
Analysis If you use the internet for any purpose that might be construed as other than respectable ? be afraid. Be very afraid.
Almost unreported, the UK Criminal Justice Bill is slowly wending its way toward becoming law. It includes a section (Clause 63) on "extreme pornographic images" that may, or may not, affect a very large proportion of the adult population in the UK. But that ? the Bill's uncertain scope ? is part of the problem.
full story

The Brits are coming ever closer to a full-on nanny state. Porn is already filtered at the level on ISPs based on whether a site is flagged as CP, but this would mean 'extreme porn sites' could also get flagged.

No definition of what extreme is, though this could be found:
Quote:
According to the terms of reference from the Ministry of Justice to a 3 woman "Rapid evidence assessment" panel, EPM (extreme pornographic material) is defined as

..... 'actual scenes or realistic depictions of: explicit intercourse or oral sex with an animal, explicit sexual interference with a human corpse, explicit serious violence in a sexual context and explicit serious sexual violence'.
not sure if it's linked to that bill going through, but explicit serious sexual violence is still very loose
