An All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) studying sexual exploitation in the United Kingdom says that not only is porn a major contributor to real-world violence, it is violence. The group is calling on U.K. lawmakers to enact a bevy of new laws regulating porn.
Their concerns are not just about coercion in the porn industry, porn's availability to minors, or other common worries. Rather, the group echoes old radical feminist tropes about pornography—that there is no such thing as ethical porn, that it's all "exploitation," and its mere existence is "a form of violence against women."
