UK Mandates Tech Firms Block Unsolicited Nude Images Amid Deepfake Concerns

Britain's new Online Safety Act now requires technology companies to block unsolicited nude images, making cyberflashing a priority offense. This move aims to enhance online safety for women and girls, with regulators consulting on platform measures. The regulations come amid global concerns over AI-generated deepfakes, with France investigating X over explicit content from its Grok chatbot, and the European Commission examining the feature. UK officials have urged X to address the surge in deepfake images.
