UK to censor online videos of 'non-conventional' sex acts

Campaigners label bill targeted at online pornography a 'prurient' intervention that will take Britain's censorship regime back to pre-internet era

Web users in the UK will be banned from accessing websites portraying a range of non-conventional sexual acts, under a little discussed clause to a government bill currently going through parliament.

The proposal, part of the digital economy bill, would force internet service providers to block sites hosting content that would not be certified for commercial DVD sale by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC).
