back to article Iceland thinks long and hard over extreme smut web ban law

Iceland is mulling a new law banning access to violent internet porn following research into the effect of extreme grumble-flicks on kids. The proposed rules, which were put forward by interior minister Ögmundur Jónasson, are being scrutinised by the country's parliament. It is access to violent pornography - rather than …

        Re: About this proposed ban

        Radfems (female supremacists) tend not to bother with the tedious niceties of getting elected. They prefer to work through lobby groups, which are more effective and reduce the risk of their vile views being subjected to democratic scrutiny.

      He also wants to ban online poke from being accessed from Iceland. So he is not just after banning porn.

      Sounds like that's all he can think about. Disgusting man :)

      Sorry, couldn't resist.

      Off for some offline poke.

    "a 2010 study by the Icelandic government...

    "...which concluded that kids exposed to footage of extreme hardcore action and youngsters actually physically abused shared the same signs of trauma."

    And did they study any and all *other* groups of children who had not been exposed to this footage, nor who had been actually physically abused to see if *they* also shared the same "signs of trauma"?

    (And what were these "signs" anyway? Remember "shaken baby syndrome"??)

    FAIL

    The discussion in this forum is moot..

    There is no information or link about the 2010 study in the article, there are no details about the proposed legislation, hence there the discussion hangs in a fact-less void of speculation.

    After reading the article, I am not even sure if the mentioned 2010 study was about violent porn. Fail all around.

      There is no study that I am aware of. But a lot of claims by the radical feminist movement and "studies" (not peer-reviewed in any way) used to justify the need for this ban.

      As for actual scientific proof. They have not showed any (the radical feminist in Iceland). The reason for that is simple. They don't exist at all.

      On the grounds that Mr (I'm assuming male) Jonfr's English is a ratted sight better than my Icelandic - er, no. Not me, anyway... :-).

      He also wants people and companies that do not have registered address and Icelandic social ID from owning an .is domain. By law that is.

      But given there are only 15 days left of parliament in Iceland (election taking place in April) there is little chance this type of law passing. But the risk remains until Ögmundur is thrown out of his office in the up-coming election.

      Side note: My English and Icelandic is all messed up at the moment. I am learning Danish and German at the same time (due to where I live in Denmark).

    What if...

    If you are not a child and you don't have any children. Then how would you watch the violent porn?

    "OK - Sigmund, you show the kids the extreme hardcore porn. And I guess, Carl - sorry, Carl, it's your turn this time 'round, we all agreed - you go physically abuse the rest of them. Right!"
