Tech companies will need to remove abusive images from their platforms within 48 hours of them being flagged under new laws being introduced by the government. The measure will apply to any intimate images shared without consent. @LouisaJamesITV reports.

🚨 CAMPAIGN WIN! 🚨 Government will now require tech platforms to take down intimate images shared without consent within 48 hours. This welcome move to protect women and girls rightly places the responsibility on tech companies to stop abuse rather than profiting from it.

Today, following months of campaigning by survivor @JodieCampaigns, @EVAWuk, @NotYourPorn, @McGlynnClare and @GlamourMagUK, a new law comes into force criminalising deepfake abuse. This is a welcome and long-overdue step for survivors, but criminalisation alone is not enough.

Over the last 18 months, survivor and campaigner Jodie*, the End Violence Against Women Coalition, #NotYourPorn, Professor Clare McGlynn and Glamour UK have campaigned for action to stop deepfake abuse. Today, a new law comes into force making it illegal.

We need to prevent abuse rather than waiting until harm is done. This means: ✅ Proper regulation of the tech companies that promote and profit from abuse ✅ Education fit for our lives in the digital age ✅ Funding for specialist services that advocate for and support survivors
Non-consensual sexually explicit deepfakes are a form of image-based sexual abuse. While the Grok scandal dominated the headlines, the issue is much bigger than one platform alone.

While the new criminal offence is welcome, much more needs to be done to prevent this abuse from happening in the first place. That’s why today we’re delivering our 73,000-strong petition to Downing Street calling for the government to go much further.

So when we ask why women don't report rape and abuse, these are the types of systems and structures that victims are up against. We know it doesn’t have to be this way, and will continue to campaign for rape justice and an end to all forms of violence against women and girls.

Killed Women were at the Houses of Parliament today, in support of Make It Mandatory and @EVAWuk End Violence Against Women, as they - along with Baroness Nicky Morgan - delivered a letter to the Department for Education calling for Relationships & Sex Education to be made mandatory for all 16-18 year olds. In the afternoon we briefed Peers in the House of Lords about why this is so important, with the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill going through Parliament.

But it can’t stop here - given the evolving nature of AI-generated harms, tech platforms must be required to take proactive preventative action. Ofcom’s VAWG guidance for tech platforms must be made a mandatory code of practice with consequences for non-compliance.

We expect the government to do more to ensure tech platforms can't profit from online abuse. To prevent future harms and guarantee that victims have meaningful routes to redress will mean building on the Online Safety Act to ensure it is fit for purpose.

From today, police can no longer routinely access victims' therapy notes. This is a vital win for survivors. Counselling is a space to heal, not evidence to be trawled. No survivor should have to choose between seeking justice and getting the support they need.

🚨CAMPAIGN WIN🚨 Banning the creation of non-consensual intimate images will be brought into force this week and will be made a priority offence in the online safety act. Deepfake abuse is a violation of our human rights and billion-dollar tech companies must be held accountable.

No one should have to worry about their photos being deepfaked. Tech companies must be held accountable for enabling and profiting from this abuse. Ofcom’s violence against women and girls guidance must be made a mandatory code of practice, with consequences for non-compliance.
One year ago today, the government announced it would make deepfake abuse an offence. But this has still not in been brought into force.

While we wait: Grok (X’s AI bot) is nudifying women’s photos without their consent 96% of all deepfakes found online are pornographic, and 99.9% of these are of women Deepfake abuse has a long-lasting, traumatic impact on victims. It is a violation of our rights and restricts our freedoms

Billion-dollar tech companies are enabling and profiting from this abuse. They must be held accountable. Currently, tech platforms can choose whether or not to follow guidelines for tackling violence against women online. This must be made mandatory, with consequences for those that don’t comply.

Today it was announced that Ofcom will investigate Grok for nudifying women’s images. This could set an important precedent for women and girls, all eyes are on Ofcom to take action and act as a deterrent for platforms that turn a blind eye to the abuse they profit from.
