Professor @claremcglynn.bsky.social is reshaping laws to protect women and girls from online abuse. From defining image based sexual abuse to informing new deepfake legislation, find out about Clare's work 👉 bit.ly/4uJ8AGa #DUinspire #DUspotlighton

A new law to criminalise the creation of non-consensual sexual deepfake images is now in force in England and Wales. Professor Clare McGlynn, Durham Law School, has played a key role in the legislation. Discover more 👉 tinyurl.com/23evkahf

New research led by Prof Clare McGlynn, Durham Law School, and Prof Fiona Vera-Gray, London Metropolitan University, shows women are being forced to change their behaviours due to the high levels of flashing and cyberflashing they experience 👉 www.durham.ac.uk/news-events/...

Today following months of campaigning by survivor Jodie, @evawuk.bsky.social, #NotYourPorn, @claremcglynn.bsky.social and @glamouruk.bsky.social, a new law comes into force criminalising deepfake abuse. This is a welcome and long-overdue step for survivors, but criminalisation alone is not enough.

Surely it's unlawful to ask #Grok to 'put her in a bikini'? Many people have been asking about the legal position of the #Grok #X abuse of women and girls. There's been a lot of misunderstanding and confusion. Here's my take on the current law in the UK and how it applies... #nudify #bikini #enough

In Aug, @claremcglynn.bsky.social explained how AI and the big tech companies are exacerbating gender inequality, including enabling and profiting from widespread misogyny, pornography, and violence against women through technologies like deepfakes and ‘nudify’ apps: nowandmen.net/episode/clar...

This week I hosted some wonderful scholars for an interdisciplinary workshop on r*pe in law and culture. Thanks to @manongarcia.bsky.social @veragraf.bsky.social @claremcglynn.bsky.social and all the participants for making it such an enriching and encouraging exchange.

'The way that I always describe it to people is imagine a woman walking into a pub and suddenly you can take her image and put it into a sexually explicit content of her.' Baroness Charlotte Owen on why it's Image Based Sexual Abuse, not Deepfake Porn. Listen now podfollow.com/shamis-speak...

Article claims new law on sexual choking-strangulation targets 'hardcore BDSM'. But main concern is material on mainstream sites portraying it as safe & entirely lacking the safety protocols/consent of BDSM @arielledomb.bsky.social @newstatesman1913.bsky.social www.newstatesman.com/politics/hea...

The choking porn ban is not enough

The government announced that it will prohibit "vile and dangerous" strangulation pornography

My comment in @theguardian.com on why the new law requiring porn and social media platforms to remove choking/strangulation content is very welcome.

"..all the training data is around women's bodies. So if you put a man's image into the model, it would simply produce a man's head on a woman's body." Listen to the full episode with Baroness Charlotte Own podfollow.com/shamis-speak...

Prnhub's PR as impressive as ever, with the media just lapping it up. No challenge to Prnhub's claims it's content is legal & consensual. What about all the sleep prn (aka rape) still there? It's T&C prohibit 'depicting' children, a cursory look finds a lot. It's the content that matters #despair

The owner of adult websites such as Pornhub told the Financial Times that traffic to the site dropped by more than three-quarters after tougher checks were put in place on.ft.com/3WSAoIa

My dream today? That all the really clever and creative people working for the likes of Prnhub worked instead for regulators and government, using their talents and ideas to imagine and realise a world without abusive, misogynist, racist prn that was normalising sexual violence.
