Face-sitting protest outside parliament against new porn rules

Sex workers and campaigners gather to demonstrate opposition to changes to UK pornography regulations

Sex workers and campaigners have gathered in front of parliament to protest against changes to UK pornography regulations.

Organiser Charlotte Rose called the restrictions “ludicrous” and said they were a threat to freedom of expression.

Protesters say the list of banned activities includes “face-sitting”, and campaigners planned to carry out a mass demonstration of this while singing the Monty Python song Sit On My Face.

Seems too likely that among all of the 'interactivity' features, there are going to be cameras and microphones, if only so that you can 'skype from your TV' or somesuch.

afternoon wondering, am I watching it, or is it watching me. With all of the capability of the new generation TVs, it can be more than a little concerning. I wouldn't want one in my bedroom either.

That would be such a direct contradiction of the stated purpose of ending porn I believe they would actually be dumb enough to do it.

Even if it's consensual, porn participants aren't able to make a informed judgement that this is what they want to do.

At least that's what I've read here.....
