it's the non-gendered "Orange Elector"
Well having examined his photos carefully, I agree he's not anatomically male...
Maybe they're just trying to avoid rule 34

describes, depicts, expresses, or otherwise deals with matters such as sex... likely to be injurious to the public good
Richard Worth?
Anyway, looking at the act I'd have said it covers BDSM in an only slightly more specific way to how it covers "sex" in that section. But I don't not actually know. I've no wish to be the one saying to trust the censors, but that's not where I'd be alarmed.

That's all BDSM material. All of it. BDSM practice is LEGAL.
Bear in mind that you're in the "consideration is given to the extent, degree and manner" section there. The relevant bit of the act being that it doesn't just deal with the matters the law mentions, but does so "in such a manner that the availability of the publication is likely to be injurious to the public good".
It appears tha tin practice some matters are considered automatically bad, but this would not be one as far as I can see.
But yes, invisible web censoring wtf?
Banned lists for sudry countries have appeared on wikileaks recently. So among all the other issues, compiling big lists of things you don't want people to look at is a risky strategy.

Personally, I'd assumed that if Mr Key was serious about 'not in the public interest', he mean not particularly enhancing the public interest, rather than contrary to it.

I'd always understood the song as dismissive rather than abusive.
"So please don't stay in touch!"
... not much of a threat. -
Our fears have nothing to hide.
"... what with the body paint and all, I though she was asking me asking me back to her place for a couple of bares. But it turned out when I walked in the front door a got between the mother and her cub and in the end I needed 112 stitches. Could be worse. If we had the US constitution I might have lost my arm."

Do I get to correct any and all parents? Or just my own?
No, no, you don't understand at all. Parents get to correct anybody.
Dealing in press releases, I've found the most notable feature of the debate to be David Lane somehow getting even weirder.

If you must, here's also the Prison Fellowship, but Rethinking is rather more vocal and probably wider-focused.
I think one does have to face the fact that a lot of the organisations out the doing good are Christian; in some cases this is incidental.

Briefly back on topic:
It don't take a genius to work out that the new protective equiptment for corrections staff isn't so much
“Our corrections officers deal with some of the country’s most difficult and dangerous people. It is essential that these frontline staff have the tools to keep themselves as safe as possible,”
as, "This is the cheapest way to get the union to agree to all that double bunking."
