Cyber-flashing likely to become a criminal offence - Dorries

Nov 27,2023 8:11 pm

Ministers are working towards making the unsolicited sending of obscene images via wi-fi or Bluetooth a criminal offence, Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries has said.

She told MPs that " cyber-flashing" was likely to be " within The Scope " of the upcoming Online Safety Bill.

And She Said that online platforms who failed in their duty of care for users would face criminal sanctions.

They must " change their behaviours now" Ms Dorries added.

Cyber-flashing involves the sending of obscene pictures using Bluetooth or peer-to-peer wi-fi networks.

This often happens while people are in public places, such as on trains or buses.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said last week that cyber-flashing " should be illegal" and The Law Society recommended, In July that a specific offence should be created.

Asked about this when she appeared before The Commons Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee for the First Time since entering The Cabinet , Ms Dorries said: " My information is that much of that is actually in The Scope of The Bill and included in The Work that we're doing. "

Cyber-flashing has been a criminal offence for More Than a decade in Scotland, but is Not Yet one in England, Wales and Northern Ireland .

Questioned over whether digital platforms failing to exercise a duty of care for users should face criminal sanctions, Ms Dorries replied: " Absolutely, yes. "

She added: " It is the case that those online platforms can change their behaviours now. They can comply with their own terms and conditions now. They can remove harmful algorithms right now.

" They don't need to wait for this bill to come to The Floor of The House [of Commons] to change The Way they behave. "

During the two-hour evidence session Ms Dorries denied frequently using the terms " snowflake" and " leftie"

Asked what her definition of a " snowflake leftie" was, she joked: " Probably my kids. "

And Then , asked what an " Islington leftie" was, she replied: " Again, one of my kids. "

The culture secretary also denied a recent story that she had threatened to cut The Bbc 's funding after Today programme presenter Nick Robinson told Prime Minister Boris Johnson to " stop talking" during an interview.

The Sunday Times had reported that Ms Dorries had told allies: " Nick Robinson has cost The Bbc a lot of money. "

But she told The Committee : " I've never criticised Nick Robinson . I didn't hear The Interview that I was supposed to have criticised and I never made The Comment . It was attributed to me but nobody can actually say I said it. "

Ms Dorries also described the decision to at music's Brit Awards from next year as " sad".

She added that she was " concerned in The Future that women were not fairly represented in those awards".
