Deepfake nudes and “revenge porn” must be removed from the internet within 48 hours or technology firms risk being blocked in the UK, Keir Starmer has said, calling it a “national emergency” that the government must confront.
Really? Pictures are a 'national emergency'? Even admittedly fake ones, or ones supplied by the 'victim' themselves? Don't we have real life things to worry about?
Of course, they have to get this through the Commons, and then the Lords, first:
Companies could be fined millions or even blocked altogether if they allow the images to spread or be reposted after victims give notice.Amendments will be made to the crime and policing bill to also regulate AI chatbots such as X’s Grok, which generated nonconsensual images of women in bikinis or in compromising positions until the government threatened action against Elon Musk’s company.
WE all know the real reason why thin-sknned Starmer has it in for social media, don't we Reader?
The prime minister said that institutional misogyny being “woven into the fabric of our institutions” meant the problem had not been taken seriously enough. “Too often, misogyny is excused, minimised or ignored. The arguments of women are dismissed as exaggerated or ‘one-offs’. That culture creates permission,” Starmer wrote.
So, Starmer, what are you planning to do about Hampshire Police? Or would the answer be 'Nothing, because it's not linked to social media'?
