Debate
Crime and Policing BillContribution
The policy Ofcom is bringing forward is very welcome, but it is not comprehensive enough to fully protect victims and risks victims once again being left to chase their abuse across the internet, which directly contradicts the Prime Minister’s promise that victims would have a “one and done” system. Ofcom’s recommendations are based on the risk profile of internet services, with medium and high-risk services having the option to use a third-party database, such as StopNCII, or internal hash database. They also have the flexibility to use different means of achieving the same outcome.
