🚨Following on from the new UK pornography law under the Crime and Policing Act, Iwas recently shown an article by the Daily Mirror reporting on a group of MP’s calling for the banning of webcamming. I did some deeper research into this and here’s what I found. Protecting people from exploitation requires serious evidence and serious scrutiny of the solutions being proposed. I’ve been examining the evidence behind Only Exploitation, the APPG report calling for a ban on commercial sexual livestreaming. It documents genuine concerns: coercive managers, abusive partners, privacy violations and failures in safeguarding. Those deserve action. But evidence that exploitation occurs does not establish that every consenting adult performer is being exploited, or that prohibition would make them safer. One study the report itself cites also identifies positive experiences among performers, including increased confidence, personal development and social connection. Those findings deserve acknowledgement alongside the harms. Research on pornography, laboratory aggression and attitudes towards women also needs careful interpretation. These are different questions from whether consensual webcam work should be prohibited. Where is the comparative evidence that a ban would protect people better than stronger enforcement, accountable platforms and meaningful safeguards? Where is the assessment of lost livelihoods, displacement and increased vulnerability? Independent performers and survivors of exploitation both deserve to be heard. A proposal presented as protecting women must account for the women whose choices, safety and livelihoods it would affect. Thank you @MistressBLondon for bringing the article to my attention. I have posted the full PDF in my private Telegram group if you want to read the full document.

📢 ANNOUNCEMENT ‼️ Some important developments behind the scenes. Over recent weeks, I've been researching and writing about proposed changes to UK pornography legislation, the wider implications for the adult industry, and some of the difficult questions surrounding personal freedom, consent and regulation. But I've never been particularly interested in simply raising questions and voicing opinions without exploring what can be done about them. So I've taken the next step. The initial signatures for my parliamentary petition are now secured, and it's awaiting review. There's much more I want to share about the petition, the reasoning behind it and what I hope it might achieve. Regardless of the petition's outcome, I intend to continue exploring every legitimate and practical avenue available to ensure our voices are heard where decisions are made, and to advocate for the changes our community needs.  A special thank you to Kaz B, Ruby Onyx, Mistress Bash, and those who wish to remain anonymous, for stepping forward so quickly to help get this moving. Your support is genuinely appreciated. I'll also be sharing practical guidance on the steps we can take to make our voices heard, including who to contact, where to direct our concerns, and templates and documents to help people take action themselves. More on this soon. For now, I'll leave you with this thought. Meaningful change often begins with the willingness to question what others accept. And on that note, I'm off to delete years of hard work and memories. I'll be back with more soon… Becky Speed xo 🪶 P.S if this matters to you, please share. The more voices we reach, the better 🫶 💗 @PrincessKaz_Dom 💜 @Rubyonyxxx ❤️ Mistress Bash (Blue Sky)
