【Sex around the house (2002) xxx movie】
Dating app Bumble — along with UN Women UK,Sex around the house (2002) xxx movie TV personality Amy Hart, and magazine Grazia— are calling for change in the UK's proposed Online Safety Bill (OSB). The current legislation concerning cyberflashing, or sending unsolicited nude images without consent, is based on whether the sender had harmful intent. This is difficult to validate and prove, Bumble and supporters say, and would give room for those who cyberflash to claim it was a "joke."
Instead, Bumble's campaigning for the cyberflashing portion of OSB to be consent-based.
"The proposed cyberflashing legislation is based on proving malicious intent, which is out of step with other proposed and existing sexual violence laws," said cyberflashing expert, professor Clare McGlynn, in a press release. "This approach will leave a loophole in the law, ultimately making prosecutions against cyberflashing unlikely whilst protecting men and allowing them to claim a defense of 'it was a joke' or 'I was having a laugh.'"

For years, Bumble has called for cyberflashing to be illegal, and established tools on the app to detect unsolicited nudes. "Cyberflashing is a form of everyday harassment that causes victims to feel distressed, violated, and vulnerable on the internet. We're encouraged by the UK Government's decision to introduce legislation, however, the law needs to be based on consent to send a clear message that sending explicit nude images is not a joke," said head of global public policy at Bumble, Payton Iheme.

Further, 86 percent of UK adults agree that more needs to be done to stop cyberflashing, according to the February 2023 survey. "Bumble's research shows that the majority of people in the UK agree that more needs to be done to address cyberflashing and alongside experts and key organisations, we're calling for the Government to move forward with a consent-based approach," Iheme continued.
Bumble, UN Women UK, and Grazia encourage people across the UK to sign a pledge in support of a consent-based approach to cyberflashing legislation.
