UK to demand social platforms take down abusive intimate images within 48 hours

The UK government announced an amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill requiring platforms to remove intimate images shared without a person's consent within 48 hours, with potential penalties including fines up to 10% of qualifying worldwide income or blocking in the UK; proposals also include digitally marking such images, treating them with similar severity to child sexual abuse material and terrorism, and making non-consensual intimate image creation/sharing a priority offence under the Online Safety Act.
