Ban pron in media (including internet)

Meh - not that bothered.

However, I believe the internet should be a free place for whatever. Though if you legislate for child abuse/exploitation etc... then it's just a part of the process that other parts that are considered morally/ethically dubious are addressed... like all things unfortunately.

And yet people are still caught on a weekly basis for possessing child pornography sourced from the internet.

Legislators are seriously egotistical. They just need to understand that when it comes to the internet they are not the controller, but the controlled.

I'm actually supporting this due to my participation in NoFap which is helping me a lot. After 2 weeks of NoFap porn isn't desirable anymore.

Are you allowed to fap if you don't use porn? If you can use your imagination for example?

This can't be for real, if so Sweden and Holland won't be happy! What about the porn industry itself? There still are people out there who pay for it. And would it be extended to print media? Would page 3 then be banned? Nuts? It will be the iron pron curtain, you'll be able to buy CDs from some random guy in the pub (like the old days lol).

Lol.

Sweden is world leader in the crusade against porn.

Massive over reaction, the legislation says nothing of the sort unless you decide to read it with a particularly stupid interpretation.

This. There's even enough info in the obviously biased blog the OP linked to, that you can work this out. But just use the magic words "European Parliament" and people will believe any old **** that you make up.

Direct quote from the legislation:

17. Calls on the EU and its Member States to take concrete action on its resolution of 16 September 1997 on discrimination against women in advertising, which called for a ban on all forms of pornography in the media and on the advertising of sex tourism

At the very least, all physical videos, films, magazines etc would be banned. It explicitly says "ban on all forms of pornography in the media" in the legislation.

Yep, I'll freely admit that Rick Falkvinge, Former leader of the Swedish Pirate Party is somewhat biased, but he also happens to have this irritating habit of linking to hard facts.

For example, as described in his article about the horrifying state of Child Pornography Laws in Europe (Warning, link technically contains Child Pornography) it's utterly absurd that a person would get prosecuted and face jail time for handing in video evidence of a child being sexually abused right? Oh, that already happened

And it's completely ridiculous and obviously untrue that a person could be convicted of possessing child-pornography by having images of themselves from before they were the legal age right? Oh, that's also already happened. Twice.

His articles are biased, yes, but to deny that they are factual is as patently ridiculous as the laws that are being discussed at this moment.

Exactly. Not to mention that this forum would probably have to be closed due to the wording of the legislation seeking to end discrimination against women meaning that all of those "who let her out of the kitchen" jokes would become illegal.

The internet has irreversably corrupted parts of my brain. Thanks to a job a good few years back where people were surfing whatever they liked without restrictions, "Automatic Teller Machine" or "Asynchronous Transfer Mode" are not the first things I think of when I see that particular acronym.
