Yvette Cooper angry over violent online videos – child abuse ‘on steroids’
Yvette Cooper angry over violent online videos
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper is questioned on the government’s announcement of new laws to target AI-generated child sex abuse images. Cooper tells Laura Kuenssberg that AI is putting online child abuse “on steroids”.
She admits she’s angry that violent videos watched by Southport killer Axel Rudakubana are still online. Also that the system to stop people like him “isn’t working”.
Home Secretary said they are strengthening the law against artificial intelligence and child abuse, as it becomes “more sadistic.”
Online companies must take more responsibility in taking harmful material down. Cooper added, showing visible anger at their failings to take down violent material. You can read more, in Kuenssberg’s analysis of the issues facing Cooper.
Last week it emerged that Axel Rudakubana, who murdered three young girls and seriously injured eight other children and two adults at a dance class in July, had watched graphic footage of a knife attack in Australia and downloaded an academic study of an Al-Qaeda training manual.
