Baroness Owen of Alderley Edge (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 5 February 2025

Debate

Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL]

Contribution

It is important to clarify that someone can be in a relationship with a partner who creates a sexually explicit deepfake, which presents a very real threat to that person even if their partner has not actually threatened to share it. That is what campaigners and victims believe: if you are in this kind of relationship and you know that someone has developed these sexually explicit deepfakes without your consent, that presents a very real threat. We believe that should be imprisonable.
