A fact from Audiovisual Media Services Regulations 2014 appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 31 January 2015 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
There is information on this page about various protest against this law but no information about what actually happened in the end: I can see that the law has been modified a few times but I don't really understand it. Anyone know what the outcome was in the end? Annafjmorris (talk) 19:47, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As I understand it, these regulations are still in force. However, the decision as to which acts have their depictions banned is effectively made by the BBFC under rules which also cover DVDs. The rules are based partly on legal precedent concerning the Obscene Publications Act 1959, and I am not aware of any significant OPA cases or BBFC rule changes since the regulations were introduced. An important aspect of this issue is the question of whether these regulations are being enforced. For DVD (and indeed cinema) the BBFC enforce the rules by withholding the certificate necessary for distribution. As websites do not require certificates, it was up to ATVOD to take enforcement action against their owners (often imposing fines) until ATVOD was closed in 2015. I am not aware of any agency currently enforcing these regulations on websites, but this may change when the BBFC begin to implement the pornography-related sections of the Digital Economy Act 2017. - Polly Tunnel (talk) 11:39, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
