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.
Technology as a religion strikes again.
We can’t possibly solve this problem the human way, with parent and children awareness and communication.
No, we must solve it with tech. Every problem must be solved with tech !
What a sad world.
If they don’t invent excuses to take tech away from people, for scanning everything , to force us using AIs which tell us the stories they want told, how will they retain power and hide their crimes?
Tech and invigilation*
There is a nice german word for such thinking. It’s “Vollkasko-mentalität” - Vollkasko is car insurance which covers everything + mentality.
I also find it funny that any existing smartphones have to work in this system too. I’d like to see the performance of any filter technology on an Android 4 based device that hasn’t seen an update or an replacement battery for decades. And what about feature phones?
I’d say let them catapult themselves back into analog times, it’ll be fun to watch when they realize that filtering that requires opening letters like back in East Germany.

Is Playboy back in business?
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!
Yeah bro we’re totally just scanning everything you send just on the off chance that a child (even though you have none and don’t know any) are takes your phone and uses it to send a dick pic haha no bro don’t worry it’s for their safety haha
And, because Apple cares about us, they can create the Personal Pictures Privacy Pro subscription. A plan where any compromising images are kept out of public dark web Facebook groups, for the low price of $29.95 per month.

My partner sent me some dirties and the new iphone asked her if she was sure.
Creepy shit.
Starmer’s labour government has been an absolute shit show. Fuck the child safety act.
With Labour like this, who needs Tories?

fuck the chi-
Oh no OH NOOO
“Fuck the child” safety act
Over reach dressed up as protection for children.
I don’t have kids myself so can’t say I understand how prevalent this problem is, but I can imagine it’s not as big of a problem as what politicians are making out. Certainly not big enough that this can be the answer, even if this legitimately required a solution, such a solution would surely be a last resort.
Easiest solution is awarness. Teach the parents how to monitor their children and how to use parental control. They can offer classes for this.
On iOS parental controls let you choose to manage the child’s contacts. So they can only communicate with anyone you put in there. You can also block communication in apps. You can also block unapproved websites or let Apple block the ones in its list. You can set age restrictions on everything. You can be pretty heavy-handed if you want to. You can also buy the kid a dumb phone.
He may as well be saying that he needs to put cameras in every car to verify that kids are wearing seatbelts if they’re in the car. That would likely reduce more harm than this, but it’s also more obvious what the problem is.
Just allow parents to disable their child’s camera, simple?
Actually, yeah. That offloads the responsibility to the parents. I think that solution actually works…
Make it illegal for their parents to give them phones and computing devices that can send and receive pictures. Problem solves.
No but seriously education for both parents and children. Because while I do believe these companies play their role in how children interact online and what they interact with, I don’t believe they’re going to be able to stop anyone from sending something or receiving something they want to send without invasive and possibly traumatic tactics that will effect people regardless of age group.
- Demand <something impossible> to “protect the children” or else we’ll do <even more dystopian surveillance>
- <something impossible> is not done because, well, it’s impossible.
- Do <even more dystopian surveillance> whilst claiming “they gave us no other choice”
Fucking hell, can we get an age and qualification limit on politicians already?
“We will change the law” means they haven’t changed it yet. And this PM is so god damn popular in his own party, they are just trying to get his possible replacement in in an otherwise unnecessary byelection. This sounds decisive but isn’t a fait accompli by any stretch of the imagination. The tech big guns will sound amenable to such a policy but will do fuck all.
Maybe hold the parents accountable. Betya then they’ll start caring about what their children are doing. Because yes, while there are adult perpetrators, there are also children themselves selling media they create on things like roblox servers. It’s a rabbit hole.
Bonus: you don’t have to invalidate everyone’s right to fucking privacy.
Extra credit: you can still tax the fuck out of these trillion dollar corporations that are ruining the world.
It would be so fun if Apple and Google decided they’d rather not have business in England anymore
