Intimate Image Abuse: Internet and Software
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of banning nudifying a) websites and b) apps.
- Answer
-
No one should have to go through the ordeal of seeing intimate deepfakes of themselves online. We will not allow the proliferation of these demeaning and degrading images, which are disproportionately aimed at women and girls.
The Government will legislate in the Crime and Policing Bill – which is currently in Parliament – to ban nudification tools. This new criminal offence will make it illegal for companies to supply tools and services designed to create non-consensual intimate images, targeting the problem at its source.
