Dating Apps Could Be Blocked If They Fail To Tackle UK Cyber Flashing
Social media platforms and dating apps could face being blocked in the UK if they fail to clamp down on cyber flashing under a major tightening of the law.
Technology Secretary Liz Kendall, who moved to the role in the reshuffle earlier this month, will announce that cyber flashing – when someone sends a photo or video of their genitals to another person to scare, upset or humiliate them – will be classified as the most serious type of online offences under the Online Safety Act.
