Answered by Kanishka Narayan
The government is clear that no one should have to go through the ordeal of these horrendous images online.
Ofcom is the independent regulator for online safety and has confirmed that they have opened an investigation into X and have made relevant contact with representatives at X. They have our full backing to take any necessary enforcement action.
This is not about restricting freedom of speech but upholding the law.
