In a welcome development, the UK Parliament is currently considering legislation to ban revenge porn, the sexually explicit media that are publicly shared online without the consent of the pictured individual.

The late LInda Susan Boreman testified and wrote how she was coerced into adopting the role of 'Linda Lovelace' by a violent and  controlling man called Chuck Traynor.   

According to her sworn testimony, he was her 'manager', pimp and husband who forced her into making many pornographic movies including some involving bestiality.  'Deep Throat' was one of the films which she alleged was made under duress, and consequently an actual record of rape. It is still being sold via Amazon UK.  Similarly a wide range of other 'Linda Lovelace' DVDs, T-shirts and fridge magnets are currently for sale via Amazon.  The fridge magnet has the slogan 'I choked LInda Lovelace', trivialising the high prevalence of strangulation in domestic violence, coercive pornography and prostitution.

In the context of the proposed legislation, and respecting a dead woman's testimony, human rights and personal dignity, we call on Amazon to withdraw from sale all movies and 'Linda Lovelace' related memorabila which she testified include the actual records of abuse and/or trivialise her ordeal.
