The Revenge Porn Helpline (RPH) is a UK-based service supporting adult victims of non-consensually shared intimate images (NCII). While RPH has achieved a 90% takedown rate, over 10% of NCII remains online due to legal loopholes and unresponsive, often international, websites. The continued accessibility of this content causes serious emotional, social, and professional harm to victims.
Despite recent updates to the Online Safety Act, current UK legislation does not empower Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to block NCII, nor does it ensure proper redress for victims—even when perpetrators are convicted. The RPH’s campaign, #NotYoursToView, calls for urgent legal reforms to block NCII from being viewed online and ensure all victims receive the legal protection they deserve.
The campaign is engaging policymakers, with RPH CEO David Wright set to speak to the Women and Equalities Committee in Parliament. A petition is also open for NGOs, industry leaders, and the public to support.
Broader challenges include the rise of deepfake sexual content, sextortion scams, and the legal ability of perpetrators to retain victims’ images post-conviction.
RPH urges public support through sharing campaign messages and pushing for clearer legal protections.
