To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what discussions she has had with Ofcom on whether Ofcom has established whether Meta carried out a risk assessment before the recent roll out of its new AI image-generation feature; and whether the regulator judged that assessment to be...

It is essential that AI providers keep users safe. The Online Safety Act requires regulated services to assess and mitigate risks to users, including protecting all users from illegal content, and children from content which is harmful or age-inappropriate.
AI services are already in scope of the Online Safety Act where they meet the definition of a regulated user-to-user service or search service. And through the Crime and Policing Act, we have taken powers to bring currently unregulated AI services into scope of the Online Safety Act’s illegal content duties.
The Government engages regularly with Ofcom on implementation of the Online Safety Act. It is for Ofcom to determine whether individual providers have met their legal obligations and whether risk assessments are suitable and sufficient.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether his Department is considering regulatory measures to prevent Meta withdrawing business pages without due process.

Category 1 services under the Online Safety Act must have effective reporting and redress mechanisms in place enabling users to raise concerns about companies’ enforcement of their terms of service, if users feel that companies are not fulfilling their duties.
In addition, the Platform to Regulations apply. The Regulations ensure that businesses can make use of online platforms and online search engines to reach consumers in a competitive, fair and transparent way. The Regulations create various obligations for online platforms including announcing platform modifications being announced in good time.
That this House notes with alarm the findings of recent legal proceedings in the United States in which Meta and YouTube have been found liable for creating platforms with addictive features that cause mental health distress and social media addiction, and in which Meta has further been found liable for endangering children by exposing them to sexually explicit material and contact with sexual predators, with both rulings delivered within a single day of one another; further notes that TikTok and Snapchat reached a settlement to avoid being involved in the trial; is deeply troubled that in the UK no action has been taken to safeguard children from addictive social media features despite mounting medical and legal evidence of the mental and physical harm they cause; recognises that practical measures such as a doomscrolling cap and raising the age of data consent to 16, alongside harms-based age ratings for online platforms, would meaningfully reduce the exposure of children in the UK to these harms; expresses concern that the Government's ongoing social media consultation is resulting in further delay to the legislative action that is urgently needed; and calls on the Government to bring forward robust, future-proof legislation that places the responsibility squarely on social media platforms to make the internet safer for children, rather than placing the burden on families and young people.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what safeguards have been considered in relation to Meta support for building AI systems for UK national security.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what safeguards have been considered in relation to Meta support for building AI systems for UK national security.
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) does not use services from Meta to build Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems for United Kingdom (UK) national security purposes.
Broader policy on the governance, assurance and oversight of the UK’s relationships with commercial AI developers, including any safeguarding expectations, sits with the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), which leads for Government on the regulation and safe development of AI technologies.
The MOD’s role is limited to ensuring that any AI technologies we adopt or develop follow our established Defence AI Strategy, our ethical principles for responsible AI in Defence as set out in our ‘Ambitious, Safe, Responsible’ policy document, and the security requirements set out in UK Government security classifications. These include robust technical; security and assurance measures appropriate to the sensitivity of MOD systems.
We continue to work closely with DSIT, the National Cyber Security Centre and other cross-Government partners to ensure any Defence use of AI is safe, secure and compliant with national policy.

This is an incredibly difficult subject to address, and I thank the hon. Gentleman for doing it incredibly well. As a grandfather of three beautiful granddaughters and having seen how the online world has made so many women and girls vulnerable to despicable attacks, I certainly share his concerns, and...

I totally agree. In fact, I have just been discussing with some of our visitors from Lancashire what needs to happen in schools so that young people are aware of digital exploitation and the damage and distress that it can cause. I hope the Minister, who is in her place,...

Does my hon. Friend agree that consent is vital, teaching about consent and seeking consent is imperative, and that the influencers and politicians who say that is too woke and is unnecessary are actually putting our children in danger?

I totally agree. Without getting too much into the politics of this, there is a very right-wing argument about what free speech means. When I first came to Parliament in the early 2000s, the then Prime Minister used to talk about rights and responsibilities. We all believe in rights, but...

My hon. Friend is making a very powerful speech. Is it not also imperative—I think the Government have done some work on this—that women being stalked know who their stalker is? Sometimes they do not know, and it means that they could be at a bus stop, and their stalker...

I totally concur; my hon. Friend makes some very strong points.
The examples that I just mentioned highlight the need for consistent and mandatory guidance for all police forces to recognise digital abuse and online stalking, and not just take it for granted that there is nothing they can do about...

I congratulate the hon. Member for Preston (Sir Mark Hendrick) on securing this very important debate. In 2018, I introduced the upskirting Bill, the Voyeurism (Offences) Bill. At the time, an alarming number of men did not consider it harassment or an offence to upskirt a female. Too often, behaviours...

It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Ms Jardine. The argument for urgent and robust regulation to protect girls online has been won, thanks in no small part to the grit and resilience of survivors who have spoken out, and of the Minister herself, who is a formidable...

I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Preston (Sir Mark Hendrick) for securing this debate. It could not be timelier, because today represents a significant day for the constituency and community that I represent.
