The Consenting Adult Action Network (CAAN) is a grassroots network of individuals in the United Kingdom that was formed in 2008 to protest and oppose laws restricting activities between consenting adults, most notably the criminalisation of possession of "extreme pornography" under Section 63 of the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008.
On 14 June and 22 August, they attempted to seek advice on what material might be caught by the law.
[1][2][3] They took a dossier of images to three major police forces, although none of them could yet say which pictures would be deemed illegal.
[7][8] On 25 January 2009, the day before the law on "extreme pornography" came into effect, CAAN protested in London.
[9][10][11] March 2010, CAAN announced they were to publish a book "Beyond the Circle: Sexuality & discrimination in heteronormative Britain" written by John Ozimek.
