Speaking in the House of Lords on 14 January 2026

Debate

Social Media: Non-consensual Sexual Deepfakes

Contribution

I was very glad to hear the Minister say that she believes in upholding offline standards online, and I hope the Government will consider the amendments from the noble Baroness, Lady Bertin, to the Crime and Policing Bill, and try to regulate online pornography as they do offline pornography. Can the Minister clarify whether the Government’s very welcome ban on nudification apps is going to apply to all apps with this capability, or only to single-purpose apps? There have been some worrying reports today that only single-purpose apps will be covered, and it is very easy to see how developers could add secondary functions to circumvent the law.
