Recommendation 26
26
Ofcom's proposals should require companies to accept non-consensual intimate image hash matching.
Recommendation
It is clear that some companies require further persuasion to accept NCII hashes. We welcome Ofcom’s plans to launch a consultation in spring 2025 on expansions to its Codes of Practice that would include proposals on the use of hash matching technology to prevent the sharing of NCII. We are clear in our view that those proposals should include requiring companies to accept the hash matching technology to prevent NCII on their services. (Conclusion, Paragraph 126) 56
