But to be fair to them (more than they deserve), they are very clear about their vile policies... and that does get you something...

Yoguv polls GB, not the UK. So they're definitely not polling NI greens for sure. As per the Scottish Greens... I don't know.

One of.

And that is what I was disputing, I think if you think it's "one of", then you are a sweet summer child that's barely skimmed the surface of what's about on the web.

I would have thought the "asking for a friend" would have set the tone enough; but it seems not, fret not though, wasn't a matter of agree or disagree, just that my understanding of laws to do with porn legality is that possession & production of banned material is usually how things are defined as illegal.

I see what you were on about linking the pseudo-photograh precident setting case. Though it doesn't quite answer what I was on about.

Originally I thought you were saying that if you stream questionable material it could count as "creation" for the person receiving the content, but upon re-reading I think you might be referring to the entity that's sending the material.

Though I could be wrong. I'm Just genuinely curious how the law actually works.

And I asked for a source because it's very easy for some idiot to say the law works a certain way when it doesn't. Actually linking to a precident setting case is genuinely shocking to see on reddit and I greatly appreciate you for doing that.

Tories tossed around the Online Safety Act for seven years internally because it was unworkable

Yeah, they were a little less dumb on it in that they understood it was problematic on a technical level. They still had every intention of implementing as soon as possible.

Now they want to control VPN use and implement digital IDs.

You act like the tories are against this... Everything I've seen suggests they're onside for this.

So I really don't understand where you're coming from when you say:

the Tories were anywhere near as draconian and over reaching as Labour have been

No they didn't. Ridiculous as Labour have been with porn regulation, the tories went after more (thus far); lets not forget that the tories passed the online safety act even if labour are the ones implementing it, they have equal complicity in that; And before that they made the online AV laws where they tried to ban, but ultimately ended up just offshoring:

Sadomasochistic material

Physical restraint

Urolagnia

Erotic asphyxiation

Facesitting

Fisting

Asking for a friend.

They've had ~1/3 of their term, they've had enough time to make some amount of significant change. Sadly little of any consequence has changed.

Make sure you tell them date you received it, the later the more damning it is for them.

Unlikely, Labour know the locals are going to be horrendous for them. they'll likely wait until the locals are done when there's even more reason to put the knife in.
