The article mentions several types of adult material, including this step-relative thing, as well as adults who look like children. These issues are quite controversial.

And these bans all passed by a margin of either 1 or 2 votes.

The article also talks about measures to combat revenge porn, which I don't think is controversial at all.

Who decides who looks like children though? Sounds like an unenforceable law

A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, right?

Combating revenge porm shouldn't be controversial, however I suspect this is just going to be used as yet another excuse to scan everyone's messages based on this part:

The minister said the Government's proposal would "make it a criminal offence non-consensually to take a screenshot of or copy in any way an intimate image that the victim has shared only temporarily".

Wonder if there will be exceptions for police and MPs?
