Now, after Ofcom ruled that Blake’s website, dreamsofspanking.com, did not fall under Atvod’s remit, she is free to reinstate its content. “It did really feel like they were upholding a kind of patriarchal sexuality.”Atvod, a quango which regulated video-on-demand websites, was stripped of its powers earlier this year. A spokesperson said: “Ofcom found that the site was not a video-on-demand service and therefore it was not subject to regulation. When regulated video-on-demand services break our rules, we take robust action to protect children.” “Now I’ve won my appeal I feel vindicated,” she said.
