In addition, the noble Baroness’s amendment’s restrictive language means that it would not actually target images that showed semen on an image of the victim, which is the harm that I believe she seeks to address and with which we agree. The Government’s new semen-defaced image offence will fall within providers’ illegal content duties under the Online Safety Act. This means that services must have proportionate systems and processes to remove this material swiftly once they are alerted to it.
