Debate
Crime and Policing BillContribution
Amendment 281A addresses the possession and use of software that creates nude images of a real person without consent. My amendment would make it an offence to intentionally possess, obtain or store software whose primary purpose is to create or alter sexually explicit or nude images of another person without consent. I welcome the Government’s attempt, but it will not capture software made overseas. These loopholes will bring no change whatever. The reality we have seen in recent weeks is industrial-scale, non-consensual sexual imagery, at speed, at scale, at almost zero cost. I believe this legislation would also not have caught Grok.
