Only 30 online platforms have signed up to an Ofcom-backed register for combating revenge porn, despite the watchdog estimating 10,000 would fall within its scope.

The website StopNCII was set up by charity SWGfL to help track and remove non-consensual intimate images (NCII) online.

It uses a technology called hash-matching to determine whether a particular image has been shared across different sites – but relies on those sites choosing to join the register.
