British law to criminalise "extreme images" passed by Lords
A new Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill has recently been passed by the House of Lords that will criminalise the possession of "extreme pornographic images", punishable with up to five years in prison.
However, the wording for the Bill is extremely vague and could lead to images of non-abusive, consenting "extreme" sexual acts, to be deemed illegal and punishable under this new law. This could lead to many innocent people being at risk from the new law, and impinging on their human rights.

China blocks YouTube over Tibet videos
Beijing, Mar 17 : China blocked access to YouTube.com Sunday after dozens of videos of recent protests in Tibet appeared on the popular US video Web site.
The blocking added to the communist government’s efforts to control what the public saw and heard about protests that erupted Friday in the Tibetan capital, Lhasa, against Chinese rule.
Access to YouTube.com, usually readily available in China, was blocked after videos appeared on the site Saturday showing foreign news reports about the Lhasa demonstrations, montages of photos, and scenes from Tibet-related protests abroad.
There were no protest scenes posted on China-based video Web sites such as 56.com, youku.com and tudou.com.
The Chinese government has not commented on its move to prevent access to YouTube. Internet users trying to call up the Web site are presented with a blank screen.
Chinese leaders encourage Internet use for education and business but use online filters to block access to material considered subversive or pornographic.
Foreign Web sites run by news organizations and human rights groups are regularly blocked if they carry sensitive information. Operators of China-based online bulletin boards are required to monitor their content and enforce censorship.
China has at least 210 million Internet users, according to the government, and is expected to overtake the United States soon to become the biggest population of Web surfers.
