  17. Sex & Censorship
    Resource Type: Website
    The UK is experiencing increasing levels of moral panic over sex and sexuality.
    We are told that Internet porn is causing an increase in rape; yet sexual violence is actually falling.
    We are told that 'trolls' on Twitter are leading to an increase in domestic violence, yet domestic violence is at its lowest in decades.
    All of these panics, amplified by the media and self-serving campaign groups, have the same objective: more censorship.
    Enough is Enough! Free speech and sexual freedom are under their greatest threat since the sexual revolution of the 1960s.
    The Sex & Censorship campaign sets out to challenge the myths and rumours. We aim to reach out to journalists and politicians and ensure that scare stories are not used to introduce yet more laws and regulations that further restrict our access to information that is freely available elsewhere.
