In both Australia and the UK, there have been major developments in the regulation of porn access. Here at home, Pornhub came back this month, but only for Australians who’ve proved their age through Apple. And in two weeks, England and Wales will make some types of porn illegal to possess.

One common theme across all three landscapes is strangulation. In one Australian study, more than half of the young people surveyed said they’d been strangled during sex, often called choking. Porn was the most common place they’d learned about it. On today’s podcast, we’re explaining what’s changing, and the question underneath it all: can you keep kids away from explicit content without asking adults to give up more of their privacy?
