The government is clear that no one should have to go through the ordeal of seeing intimate images of themselves online.

There are no excuses not to act, and services must deal with this urgently. Ofcom are looking into this as a matter of urgency, and they have the government’s full backing to take any necessary enforcement action.

Services and operators have a clear obligation to act appropriately. This is not about restricting freedom of speech but upholding the law.
