Pornography depicting choking or incest will be banned from early November, the government has said.
The announcement follows a review of pornography regulation conducted in 2025 by Conservative peer Baroness Gabby Bertin. The government has not provided further details in the supplied material about how the ban will be implemented or enforced.
The proposal forms part of the government’s response to the review and concerns pornography involving the two specified themes. The ban is expected to take effect in early November, although no exact date has been given.
No further information has been supplied about the scope of the regulations, the penalties involved or the response from affected organisations. The latest position is that the government intends to introduce the prohibition from early November.
