UK to Impose New Sanctions on Social Media Giants: Intimate Images Must Be Deleted Within 48 Hours

Move to Protect Women and Girls The UK government has announced a comprehensive legal framework aimed at enhancing the safety of women and girls in the digital world.
The new regulations target technology platforms, imposing strict timelines for the removal of harmful content.
Companies that violate these rules could face administrative fines of up to 10 percent of their global annual revenue.
Additionally, the sanctions include the possibility of blocking access to the services of non-compliant platforms across the country.
Single Notification and Automatic Removal System The new regulation also introduces a technological infrastructure designed to reduce the bureaucratic burden on victims.
Under the planned system, a single report from a victim will be sufficient to trigger the simultaneous removal of the content from multiple platforms.
Furthermore, the system aims to automatically detect and delete these images if they are re-uploaded.
This step is expected to be a significant turning point in the fight against digital violence.
