Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what steps will she take to tackle the sharing of recordings taken by smart glasses and ensure that social media platforms remove this content at pace.

Where non-consensual intimate images captured by smart glasses are uploaded to social media, platforms must remove these as soon as reasonably practicable and, in any event, within 48 hours of receiving a valid report. People can also exercise their right to be forgotten under the UK GDPR if they do not wish platforms to continue to process their personal data. We fully support Ofcom and the Information Commission in enforcing the relevant legislation in this area.
