Summary
The UK government has agreed to ban the production of pornography depicting sex acts between stepfamily members following a narrow vote in the House of Lords. The amendment, which adds 'step-incest' to existing bans on harmful content, passed by just one vote despite opposition from some ministers who argued it could be difficult to enforce. The ban is part of broader government efforts to regulate pornography, including last year's criminalization of material depicting women being choked. The move follows a review into pornography regulation led by Conservative peer Gabby Bertin.
