UK's 48-Hour Mandate: Social Media Giants Face Tight Deadline on Revenge Porn
The UK government, under Prime Minister Keir Starmer's leadership, has unveiled a new policy requiring social media giants like Meta, TikTok, and X (formerly Twitter) to remove non-consensual intimate images, including revenge porn and AI-generated deepfakes, within 48 hours of being reported. Failure to comply could lead to substantial fines or even the possibility of being blocked in the UK. Enforced by Ofcom, this policy marks a significant shift in holding tech companies accountable and alleviating the burden from victims.
