I’m sure most of us are aware of the outrageous censorship of the UK Porn Industry in the later part of 2014. The AVMS video on demand regulations sparked an outcry from industry and non industry people alike and even resulted in a mass ‘Face Sitting Protest’ outside the Houses of Parliament.

The pressure on Internet Service Providers to move to default web filtering came directly from Cameron and the likes of Claire Perry pandering to tabloid scare headlines. What we learnt in 2014 was that, as so many of us warned, this led to censorship, including websites there to help victims of abuse or to support LGBT people.
