Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 December 2025

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

This amendment is about preventing exploitation and abuse. Some platforms claim they have made age checks, but we have to take their word for it. Can you imagine a world where a multibillion-pound business just said to the auditors, “Trust us, the accounts are fine”? Why should this industry enjoy such light-touch self-regulation and no paper trail, especially when its commodity is real people?
