Recommendation 8

The Government should create guidance for internet infrastructure providers and web browser manufacturers on tackling online non-consensual intimate image abuse, similar to that which already exists for online child sexual exploitation and abuse. This guidance should direct both groups to make use of a designated expert body’s registry of NCII material. While there is no legal obligation to act in accordance with the guidance—and we understand the current voluntary approach with CSAM is working—the Government should do all it can to encourage companies to follow it, with a view to potential legislative solutions if there is insufficient take up. (Recommendation, Paragraph 58)
