European Parliament Decides Not To Ban Internet Porn

Posted by Soulskill on from the decides-not-to-be-overthrown dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The European Parliament passed a proposal Tuesday which included a blanket ban on pornography, including Internet porn, in European Union member states. However, Members of European Parliament (MEPs) removed explanatory wording from the porn ban section, essentially limiting the ban to advertising and print media. The proposal, titled 'Eliminating gender stereotypes in the EU,' was put to a vote in Strasbourg. MEPs passed it 368-159."

      Wrong. Porn is a metaphor. When you see stuff like "Massive gangbang triple penetration XXX 24" you basically see what's being done to taxpayers.
