As long it's between two consenting adults, who am I to be upset about that? Doesn't sound more or less dangerous than other BDSM stuff.
We practised safe choking already as kids for judo lessons. Two horny degenerates can probably manage as well.

It's the way it's misused that's the issue. UK has also banned the rough sex defence because dangerous perps were claiming they accidentally killed their partner. In the UK non fatal strangulation is a criminal offence because it's known to be a warning sign for dangerous perps.
This is set out in section 75A(2), providing a defence for a person accused of strangulation or suffocation to show that the other person (the victim) consented to being strangled or to any other act that affected their ability to breathe.
So the UK actually does know that some people do it for fun. Just choking someone has nothing to do with being dangerous.
Yep, but people are misusing it and using the porn as an excuse
Banning media is not the solution, building a judicial precedent around that type of defense is.
Don't know how it is in the UK, but not all countries have judicial precedent. Lawyers can use precedent to argue their cases but judges are not necessarily bound by them.
What excuse?
You can ban a lot of violent media with that line of reasoning.
I see it differently but thanks for your perspective
