Joanna Cherry: ...promise but who did not make it. Returning to the involvement of lesbians, many lesbian feminists brought to the fight against section 28 experience of direct action from their campaigns against pornography and violence against women. Some of the lesbians involved had children and they took particular offence at their families being called a “pretended family relationship”. Those who...
Siobhian Brown: ...increase understanding of intimate image abuse and to facilitate the delivery of practical support for people who are affected by it. We have been told of concerns about the negative influence of pornography and of the need to work collaboratively to consider how it drives the societal issues that lead to violence against women and girls. The refresh of the equally safe strategy enables us...
Diana R. Johnson: To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, if she will bring forward legislative proposals to give people who feature in pornographic material the right to withdraw their consent to that material being (a) published and (b) distributed.
Diana R. Johnson: To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, if she will bring forward legislative proposals to require websites to verify that every person featured in pornographic content on their platform (a) is an adult and (b) gave their permission for the content to be published on that platform.
Miriam Cates: To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, when she plans to appoint the Chair of the Pornography Review announced on 3 July 2023.
Diana R. Johnson: To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what the terms of reference are for the Pornography Review announced on 3 July 2023; and which Minister has lead responsibility for that review.
Miriam Cates: ...create that parity between online and offline. Nowhere is that more needed than in the much less regulated online space. I say that principally because of the proliferation of unregulated hardcore pornography on the internet—pornography that would be completely illegal in the offline world, on DVDs or on streaming services—that is now being viewed by millions, including children, and...
Laura Farris: The hon. Lady makes an excellent point. There is no doubt that some of the toxic content, including violent pornography, has a serious impact on the way that women and girls are treated and the attitudes that certain men have towards them. As she will know, the Online Safety Act 2023 only received Royal Assent a month ago, and there is an extended implementation period. She will also know, I...
Paul Beresford: ...in prison without early release. That includes those who may not have touched a child but who, by collecting what are not infrequently thousands or tens of thousands of images of child abuse pornography, are also culpable, and should hence spend every day of their sentence behind bars, as the judge may decide is appropriate when they are convicted.
Saqib Bhatti: ...AI-generated content in much the same way that it does content created by humans. It covers AI-generated content shared by users with other users, search results generated by AI and AI-generated pornography. In addition, the Act will criminalise the sharing of deepfake intimate image abuse, including when that is AI-generated.
the Earl of Devon: ...co-operation in these important areas. Now that online safety is legislated for, will the Minister please assure the House that the Government will renew their efforts to review the regulation of pornography, including the long overdue identification and verification provisions? The ease with which young and old can access misogynistic violence and abuse on the internet is a stain on our...
Paul Scully: ...set out in the Bill – this includes setting out the kinds of technologies that are highly effective in determining whether a particular user is a child for the purpose of protecting children from pornography and other primary priority content that is harmful to children.
Jenny Rathbone: .... We need to help young people know how to keep themselves safe. The internet offers lots of exciting insights into the world beyond our communities, but it also poses lots of hazards, whether it's pornography, obsessive compulsive behaviours, or bullying. We need to help young people keep themselves safe and navigate these hazards, and know when to withhold, or withdraw, or seek help....
Ross Greer: I was on the then Education and Skills Committee when we received evidence from queer young people in particular, who told us that they had resorted to watching pornography to learn about sex because the education that they received in school was so poor and not remotely LGBTQ inclusive. The new draft relationship, sexual health and parenthood guidance is a vast improvement on its 2014...
Rona Mackay: ..., the sale of drugs or weapons and terrorism. That is, of course, all very welcome, but does it go far enough? The bill could have introduced stronger age-verification requirements for providers of pornography, including a requirement for confirmation that individuals depicted in pornographic content have given consent. With technology changing at an eye-watering pace, there could have...
Diana R. Johnson: To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, which Minister in which Department has lead responsibility for the pornography review.
Paul Scully: ...in our thinking as well, so I say yes to both. My right hon. Friend the Member for Chelmsford (Vicky Ford) and my hon. Friend the Member for Penistone and Stocksbridge (Miriam Cates) talked about pornography. Clearly, we must build on the Online Safety Bill. We have the pornography review as well, which explores regulation, legislation and enforcement. We very much want to make sure that...
Baroness Benjamin: ...closely with him, and with noble Lords from all sides of the House, to ensure that the implementation of the amendments we have all worked so hard to secure happens. I look ahead to the review into pornography, which is often the gateway to other harms. I also look forward to working to make the UK the safest place in the world—the world is looking at us—to go online for everyone in...
Baroness Benjamin: ...fought for over the years and during the passage of this Bill. If the Government do not accept the amendment, perhaps the issue of harmful design could be included in the welcome proposed review of pornography. It would be good to hear the Minister’s thoughts on this idea—but I am not giving him a let-off. I hope he will listen to the strength of feeling and that the Government will...
...technology” for the purposes of the Bill. The effect is for user data to now include data created etc by providers of all services regulated by the Bill (including providers subject to the Part 5 pornography duties). Amendments 278 to 280 agreed. Clause 208: “Functionality” Amendments 281 to 281B not moved.
