MEPs have voted in favour of the new rules at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, as part of the wider Digital/AI omnibus bill by a significant 423 to 57 majority, with 174 abstentions.

The new rules will now be formally approved by the European Council on 29 June.

That bill specifically prohibits social media firms from making available to customers systems which are used to create non-consensual intimate images of men, women and children.
