The recent debate on deepfakes, led by my noble friend Lady Owen, gave a very clear sense of where the mood of the House is. Urgency is imperative—the technology is moving more quickly than our legislative response. I hope the Minister will realise that this is an opportunity to set a new milestone for legislative responses to a new technological threat and seize it. The explosion of computer-generated CSAM is a pressing threat to our society, so supporting the amendment is a vital step towards safeguarding thousands more from online abuse.
