I also remind noble Lords that we are talking about a disproportionately sexist form of abuse. It is of huge concern that the Government’s view that satire may be a reasonable excuse risks legitimising the continued abuse of women in the public eye by allowing the possibility that photorealistic images and videos may be created of them on the toilet or in their underwear—not a cartoon but a photorealistic image—in order not to breach the creator’s freedom of expression under the ECHR.
