The UK will criminalize sending sexual content without consent. This practice, known as cyberflashingwill constitute a crime that could have a sentence of up to two years in prison.
The practice of cbyerflashing involves the sending of unsolicited sexual images via social media, messaging, or dating apps, as well as through data exchange services such as Bluetooth and Airdrop. In some cases, a preview of the photo may appear on a person’s device, meaning that even if the transfer is rejected, victims are forced to view the image.
