The #UK government is proposing a #law requiring tech #platforms to remove #intimateimages shared without consent within 48 hours, with penalties of up to 10% of global sales or having services blocked entirely. Prime Minister Keir Starmer called it a "national emergency" and said tackling image abuse should be treated with the same severity as child sexual abuse material and terrorist content. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2026/feb/18/tech-firms-must-remove-revenge-porn-in-48-hours-or-risk-being-blocked-says-starmer?eicker.news #tech #media #news

The #California Attorney General’s office sent a cease-and-desist order to #xAI, demanding the company stop the creation and distribution of #nonconsensual #intimateimages and #CSAM generated by its chatbot, #Grok. #Investigations into Grok are also underway in Japan, Canada, Britain, Malaysia, and Indonesia. https://techcrunch.com/2026/01/16/california-ag-sends-musks-xai-a-cease-and-desist-order-over-sexual-deepfakes/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

The #UK plans to make it #illegal to create #nonconsensual #intimateimages, following concerns about #ElonMusk’s #Grok #AIchatbot. #Ofcom is investigating #XTwitter, the platform hosting Grok, for potentially violating laws by not removing illegal content promptly. The government emphasises that this is about combating violence against women and girls. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cq845glnvl1o?eicker.news #tech #media #news
