Campaigners warn government's proposals on image-based abuse are not meaningful enough
CAMPAIGNERS criticised the government’s proposals on image-based abuse as being not meaningful enough today.

The new proposal requires tech companies to proactively remove and stop this material appearing on their platforms, or risk facing fines.
