UK government threatens tech bosses with jail time if they do not adequately fight nudification tools

The U.K. government has proposed an amendment to criminal law that would allow imprisonment or fines for senior technology executives who fail to remove nonconsensual intimate images from their platforms within a mandated timeframe. The move is a response to the 'Grok' scandal—where millions of 'nudified' images were circulated—and signals Ofcom will enforce takedown requirements and possible service blocks for noncompliant companies.
