Vicki and Geraldine talk to the Managing Director of Revealing Reality, the organisation researching technology, media and online harms for the DCMS, Ofcom and others. They cover the sending and sharing of nude images, the possible ditching of ‘legal but harmful’ from the Online Safety Bill, and the shortcomings of age assurance.

Talking points:

• How has sending nude images become both routine and a form of abuse?
• Sex positivity: an aspect of privilege?
• Why boys and girls have different assumptions about sharing nude images.
• Should ‘legal but harmful’ be replaced by ideas about context and volume?
• Age assurance - why parents help their children get around it.
