Yes, that's an actual thing.
The Conservative Government in the United Kingdom has now set its eyes on Internet porn; choosing to encourage (and likely future forcing) internet service providers to use an opt-out scheme for censoring pornographic materials.
Seeing the clear threat to both personal freedoms and their profit revenues many ISPs have declined to entertain the governments proposals; with much revenue and use of the internet for personal use coming from the 14-30 age range, the providers have chosen a hard stance against the government with many accusing the government of building the frame work for Chinese-style oppression of the widely and freely open information and movement of news on the internet.
David Cameron has stated that the opt-out scheme will affect (for the most part) websites which promote extreme forms of pornography such as staged rape and violent bondage practices.
If you take away the fake staging of such practices then what is left?
Well, a black market of pornography will be created which may not see the need to fake rape and instead may promote the real recording of actual rape; and rather than large multi-million corporations producing bondage porn in a secure environment with fully trained medical staff on call, you may be left with amateur pornographers creating their own version for distribution which can be nothing but bad when such practices involve borderline torture when not produced professionally.
If the war on drugs has taught us anything it's that banning something only promotes the creation of black markets where stock is more than questionable.
Speaking as someone who spent most of his young life tweeting the tweety bird to porn: it's not more damaging than the usual levels of sexual exposure seen on the highstreet or on many television shows.
