Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 December 2025

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

This amendment also captures titles and dialogue, recognising that words can advertise, normalise and accelerate harm. Pornography titles accompanying content matter a great deal. They are the main route by which this material is found and can be as violent as the content itself. Amended law must capture titles and searchable text, obliging search engines to bar such content. At present, too many are falling short. How can it be right that my team can easily find titles on Google such as “Stoned girl sexually abused” and “Good little girl allows abusive father to pee on her” on the first search page?
