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.

    Your entire take is idiotic as best.

    As a society we should strive for making life easier for everyone, but especially those who are having trouble with technology due to lack of time or resources.

    The solution isn’t to go online and start spouting off about “how you should’ve considered that you’ll need to learn a dozen new technologies just to raise your kid”, but to provide actually actionable, simplified enough solutions that people can utilise.

    Your take is especially idiotic when you put it in perspective of ALL OUR FUCKING PRIVACY RIGHTS BEING VIOLATED because parents are already struggling to keep their kids safe. And you just shrug your shoulders and tell others to parent better? What kind of a fuckwit are you?

      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.
