COMEDIAN Tanmay Bhat

COMEDIAN Tanmay Bhat may have become public enemy number one in India after his disastrous video about icons Lata Mangeshkar and Sachin Tendulkar, but that isn’t the biggest damage done to him.

What Britain’s ban on strangulation porn really means and why campaigners say it could backfire

Highlights:

  • Government to criminalise porn that shows strangulation or suffocation during sex.
  • Part of wider plan to fight violence against women and online harm.
  • Tech firms will be forced to block such content or face heavy Ofcom fines.
  • Experts say the ban responds to medical evidence and years of campaigning.
