"The Metropolitan Police received 120 percent more complaints about non-consensual intimate image abuse (NCII), according to FOI data obtained by online safety provider Verifymy."
"Some 1,766 NCII complaints were made last year in Greater London, a 17 percent rise from 1,523 the year before, and more than double the 805 recorded in 2020."
"The Internet Watch Foundation said just last week that in 2025 there had been a more than 260-fold increase in AI-generated child sexual abuse videos from the year before."
"Social media platforms will have to remove any non-consensual images reported within 48 hours under the new Crime and Policing Bill, which is currently in the final stages of legislation."
Complaints about non-consensual intimate image abuse have increased by 120% in five years, with 1,766 cases reported last year in Greater London. The rise is attributed to AI-powered nudification tools that facilitate the creation of explicit images without consent. The Internet Watch Foundation reported a significant increase in AI-generated child sexual abuse videos. New legislation mandates social media platforms to remove non-consensual images within 48 hours and bans nudification tools. Victims will have three years to report these crimes, an extension from the previous six months.
