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.

    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?

      I responded to your comment that talks about how setting up parental controls yourself isn’t really an option and pointed out that it is in fact an option, but I guess you forgot about that.

      Like I said I am all for big tech having to provide more options for parents but it shouldn’t come at the expense of everyone else which mind you is what this post is about.

      I am just pointing out that you can in fact set up good parental controls if you are willing to, which you seem like you are not. Its not dystopian to know how to work with your technology that you use every single day in fact the world would be better if everyone understood how their tech worked and could fine tune it for their needs. Its wild to think having more knowledge is dystopian.

      My solution is something you can do without the government or big tech and is something that can give you control in ways they can’t and do it today if you wanted to. It will protect your kids and is a very good option for parents in the modern age. But I get it I made you think of stuff that sounds too difficult for you so you’re upset.
