UK’s Starmer gives Apple, Google 3 months to stop kids sending nude images

If firms do not act, the PM said, ‘we will change the law … when it comes to the safety of our children, standing by is not an option’.

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.

    I’m just being realistic I said I would like for more protections from tech companies but that isn’t the world we live in, but I guess you couldnt comprehend that.

    I offered a solution so that parents could protect their children TODAY. That’s why I provided an actual actionable solution a parent who is worried about their child could do to protect them now. You say you care about privacy rights well why don’t you stop complaining and start protecting your family rather than wait for the tech companies or government to start caring about you?

    Your options are to protect yourself and your family or complain online. I’m sorry it will require some work to do but hey like I said that is what you signed up for. Yes you will need to do better because we live in a fucked up world that doesn’t make it easy on you. I wish it was different but its not. But go ahead get mad because I offered a way to solve these issues, rather than simply agreeing that there is nothing we can do.

      Check the discussion you’re on right now.

      IT IS ABOUT FUCKING LEGISLATION THAT FORCES BIG TECH TO DO SOMETHING FOR “PROTECTING CHILDREN”.

      My solution is that since we’re already legally forcing big tech to do something, then why not do it the right way and force them to give tools to parents to enable them to protect their kids, instead of this fucking dystopian operating system level privacy erasure.

      And your solution is still to not give a fuck about the laws that are being introduced, AND not give a fuck about parents besides telling them to “protect their kids”. You do see why your take is idiotic, right?
