The Lib Dems Propose a Big Tech Levy to Fund £250m Online Crime Agency The Liberal Democrats' plan to create an Online Crime Agency funded by a levy on big tech companies has sparked debate about the role of Silicon Valley in enabling online harms.
The agency would tackle child sexual abuse material, trafficking, and deepfake AI generated pornographic images – all crimes that have become increasingly brazen.
This proposal comes as no surprise given the Liberal Democrats' concerns about their own relevance in British politics.
