"New clause 26, would update the law on sexual communication with a child to make it illegal to use digital tools such as bots or avatars to simulate sexual communication with a child."

I hope this is a conduct based prohibition (i.e. targeting someone's conduct with an actual child), and not a broad content based one (i.e. a conversation of a fictional person, for the purposes of a thought police, something which someone might do for entertainment purposes, therapeutic ones, or other ones in the privacy of their own home).

If it is a broad content based one, that would mean largely punishing someone for things they haven't done / wouldn't do (i.e. guilt by association). In that case, I would suggest contacting MPs not to pursue it.

This also appears to be based on a hypothetical from a "think of the children" advocate and not something people actually do.
