Do they actually know how the technology works? They will have to scan everything inbound and outbound connections, basically managed devices.

Apple and Google have been given a three-month ultimatum to make it impossible for children to take, share or view nude images on their smartphones, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Monday.

    If Apple and Google are sending kids nude images, then their parents are showing them porn by giving them phones.

    Let me guess, the solution is age verification for everyone?

      because it’s not about the kids, it’s never been about the kids. It’s about collecting/harvesting user data, IDs, and tracking said user.

      Age verification for social media isn’t working. why? because people will simply just stop using it. now porn? well they figure everyone gets horny and loves porn so it’s the next best bet to continue to try and collect said data.

      We all know the EASIEST solution to this issue, it’s like you set, parental controls. it’s always been the easiest solution. always. but THAT doesn’t collect a users data.

      Look i’ll be honest if all these governments and companies just straight up came out and said “ok, we lied, it’s not about the kids we just want your data. that’s it. we want it so we can track it and sell it. we need the easy money.” I’d slightly respect them more for it.

      Seriously how about this “you allow us to collect and sell your data and we’ll give you a tax break or a cut of the profits from selling it. we’ll make this an opt in thing” just do that. just be god damn honest.

      Easy, just send every parent who gives a minor a phone to prison. Problem solved!

      The end result is further controlling people and surveilling them. Privacy is being murdered in record time.

      Soon every person will have a mandatory telescreen in their pocket, linked to their facial recognition in a Palantir run ‘government’ database.
