UK law makes possessing or publishing choking and suffocation porn a crime from 6 November

Amendments to the Crime and Policing Act take effect on 6 November in England and Wales. They criminalise possession and publication of pornography that explicitly and realistically depicts strangulation or suffocation, certain relative-coded roleplay, and apparent under-16 sexual content. Possession of strangulation or suffocation material carries up to two years, and publication up to five. Adult platform iWantClips has already banned affected genres for UK-based creators.
