The UK regulator Ofcom is updating rules for social media and online platforms to better stop intimate image abuse, including revenge porn and AI-created deepfakes. The new rules encourage using technology to detect and block these harmful images before they spread online.
Key Facts
Intimate image abuse means sharing private sexual or nude images without consent, often to humiliate women and girls.
Ofcom plans to change its rules to force platforms to find and remove these images quickly.
AI-generated deepfakes, fake sexual videos created by artificial intelligence, have made the problem worse.
The new code suggests using "hash-matching" technology that can recognize and block illegal images automatically.
Campaign groups say current efforts are not strong enough and want Ofcom to require tech firms to take tougher action.
The rules aim to stop niche forums that share intimate images of women linked to specific places, posing safety risks.
The new guidelines are expected to start in autumn after approval by parliament.
UK politics leaders, including Keir Starmer and technology secretary Liz Kendall, have called for urgent government action against these abuses.
