"Revenge porn should be treated in the same way as child abuse and terrorist content online, an expert has told MPs. Current protections in tackling what is a growing problem are not strong enough, said David Wright, director at the UK Safer Internet Centre."
"NCII abuse is when intimate content such as photos or video is produced, published, or reproduced without consent. Mr. Wright said there had been a terrifying rise in revenge porn cases in recent years."
"In September, the Government announced that the sharing of revenge porn is to be classified as the most serious type of online offence under the Online Safety Act, meaning social media platforms will now have to take steps proactively to remove it."
"The change to the law will see the sharing of intimate images without consent upgraded to be made a priority offence under the new online safety regulations, marking a significant step forward in protecting women online."
