PORN that depicts incest, choking and other forms of violence against women and girls should be banned, the government’s independent reviewer has said.

In a major review published yesterday, Baroness Bertin outlined a series of measures to tackle abuse and exploitation in the porn industry, as well as the impact of violent content on public attitudes and expectations about sex.

Her recommendations include making harmful content — already illegal in physical formats —unlawful on online platforms and criminalising non-fatal strangulation, commonly referred to as choking in porn.
