UK Sets 48-Hour Deadline for Social Media Giants: New Sanctions for Intimate Content

Heavy Sanctions for Tech Giants The UK government has drafted new legal regulations containing deterrent sanctions against technology giants.
Companies that fail to remove non-consensual intimate content within a designated 48-hour window could face administrative fines of up to 10% of their annual global turnover.
Single Notification for Multi-Platform Action UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer emphasized that the internet is the front line in the fight against such crimes and stated that the burden on victims would be reduced.
Under the new system, victims will be able to request the removal of an image from multiple platforms with a single notification, rather than applying to each platform individually.
This step is expected to accelerate the legal processes for victims of digital violence.
Automatic Blocking Against Re-uploads The regulation aims not only to delete existing content but also to prevent it from re-entering circulation.
Images that have been reported and removed from the system will be tracked using automatic recognition technologies.
This plan aims to provide permanent protection by technically preventing the re-uploading of deleted content to the same or different platforms.
