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.

      Heck they need 3 months to stop committing crimes? If I went murdering people, they would not give me 3 months to stop, they would hunt me down like a dog.

        Though tbf “underage people sharing nudes with each other on snapchat and looking at porn” doesn’t necessarily mean you have to kill the children immediately, you can give them some time.

        Besides, it’s “you have three months to create and implement code that tracks the ages of all your users and all activity across all apps for the ones under 18, and then use that to stop their cameras from working when nudity detected, and stop their messaging services when nudity detected, and stop their internet when pornography detected.” I don’t think we need the follow up “lethal force engagedjust yet, but you never know they may start blowing up computers like Mossad’s pagers when a kid googles “boobies” soon enough.

          I mean, I said Liquidate the company. What can you do, teens can be teens, it’s kind of like animals breeding. You are not supposed to breed the animals yourself. Also, they might hurt each other, so you should at least try to avoid situations where they will, or get them protection (so sex ed is a thing for that reason).

          But I have a hard time believing companies about anything, and I give them little benefit of doubt.

          When you put it like that: Age verification, checking the nudes of minors using code gained from Arceus knows what, it does sound a bit…unreasonable.
