Yet Starmer's administration presses on with the determination of an authoritarian regime. The slippery slope is obvious. It starts with the unimpeachable – protecting children and countering terrorism – but mission creep is inevitable. We've already seen how "harmful" content on public platforms leads to police knocking on doors for tweets, memes, or opinions deemed offensive. Now imagine that scrutiny extended to private chats: a heated family argument, a joke between friends, a political rant shared in confidence. What the state labels "harmful" today – misinformation, "hate speech," or dissent – will tomorrow justify scanning your WhatsApp group or Signal thread.

Baroness Berger (Lab) My Lords, upload prevention technology is already being used by platforms in private messaging environments to detect harmful content such as malware, and, as we have just heard, experts such as the Internet Watch Foundation have confirmed that the same approach is feasible for detecting known child sexual abuse material, yet platforms continue to falsely claim that such scanning is impossible. What steps will the Government take specifically to ensure that Ofcom is testing and challenging these claims so that such arguments cannot be used to evade compliance?

Hard to know who to trust on this issue, Luciana Berger and the IWF or Meredith Whittaker

Oh wait no it's not

Lord Clement-Jones (LD) My Lords, given the recent experience with AI platforms such as Grok generating unacceptable non-consensual sexual images and the warnings from the Internet Watch Foundation, I welcome recent comments from the Secretary of State for DSIT about Grok. However, what discussions are senior Ministers having with technology companies directly to ensure that they understand their duties under the Online Safety Act and will comply? Lord Hanson of Flint (Lab) The noble Lord should know that my view is that Grok is creating degrading non-consensual images, that that is an absolute disgrace and that Grok should take action on it. It is simply not acceptable. Ofcom has powers to tackle this. I will give a similar answer to the noble Lord that I gave to the question from the noble Lord, Lord Carlile: there is a consultation on this. Ultimately, though, it is not acceptable. Ofcom will act, and if it does not the Government will.

Wasn't supposed to be about Grok but that didn't stop anybody

Whittaker thinks these two pieces of legislation are "deeply incoherent" with the UK's stated desire to become an "AI champion". "You get real boosterism on that side, which I think is in many cases ill-conceived." She adds: "There seem to be two wolves fighting under a blanket. One wants as much tech investment as possible, and the other is showing that many of those same people don’t understand the tech at all."
