So many people in the comments are asleep at the wheel.

The Ministry of Justice said that possessing and publishing porn showing incest between family members and sex between step or foster relatives where one person pretends to be under-18 would be a crime.

Porn showing characters that are related having sex

Porn showing UNDERAGE characters having sex.

That's it. That's all this stops.

Which probably is already illegal in most places

This will stop very little to no additional porn according to what was said.

It's NOT a ban on showing step porn, only when one person is under the age of 18.

This solves maybe having. Some law to help prosecute things that are likely already being prosecuted but will do nothing to stop what has become popular.

Pretty shocking that's not already illegal

I assume it already is illegal and this is a nothing burger. But absolutely quite disgusting if depicting underaged people having sex is not already illegal as well as depicting incest is not already illegal
