the government tabled amendments to the Crime and Policing Bill that will criminalise possessing or publishing depictions of strangulation or suffocation in pornography, with responsibilities put on tech platforms to stop the spread of this content.
Online platforms will be required to proactively detect and remove material depicting strangulation on their services or face enforcement action by the regulator, Ofcom.
Amendments were also tabled to give survivors of image-based sexual abuse up to six times longer to report what happened to them to the police. Those who take or share an intimate image without consent can now be prosecuted up to three years after the offence was committed; a positive move for survivors.
