UK Government Forces Removal Of Deepfake Nudes
9.2
Keir Starmer says deepfake nudes and nonconsensual intimate images must be removed within 48 hours, or platforms risk fines or being blocked under amendments to the crime and policing bill and Online Safety Act. Government sources expect Ofcom to enforce powers by summer, with penalties up to 10% of worldwide revenue; measures also target AI chatbots such as X's Grok.
Key Points
- 1Mandates removal of nonconsensual intimate images within 48 hours, subject to Ofcom enforcement and legal penalties.
- 2Imposes fines up to 10% of worldwide revenue or blocking to curb platform-enabled sexual abuse.
- 3Enables hash-matching, watermarking, and cross-platform alerts; raises operational challenges for platforms and encrypted services.
Scoring Rationale
High regulatory impact and clear enforcement plan, though proposals are not yet enacted into law.
