🚨 Tech companies like Apple and Google have three months.

Activate safeguards on smartphones and tablets to detect and block nude images for children or we will bring forward legislation to force you to do so.

[RandFan]

What an extraordinary post. They should tell the UK Home Office where to go but they won't. They'll likely comply with this order?

[RandFan]

And this is will likely mean mass surveillance nothing to do with the stated aim

[Leaning Right]

Apple and Google need to think outside the box here.

Each company should send a Muslim to represent them in discussions with the UK. Not only would Starmer give in, he’d probably take them all out to lunch.

At a halal restaurant, of course.

How about a warning to avoid ME rape gangs running the country now...

Nude images of children or any nude image sent to children. I agree with banning the first, but images of adults? Does this include images to teach figure drawing? Biology? Works of art?

[Governor Dinwiddie]

They are afraid the naughty images might fan the flames of hetero-sexuality in boys.

This is diametrically opposed to their agenda of turning every lad into a skipping, lisping poofter.

Has grahm platner voiced a concern yet?

[Brian Griffin]

I’m sure they have DVDs in the UK, and not always nice ones.

From 2025...

No, the UK’s Online Safety Act Doesn’t Make Children Safer Online

BTW, try to do a search for the text of the UK's OSA.

You know what comes up first?

The UK's Online Safety Act Explainer.

An explainer...

Riiiiiiight.

[Leaning Right]

No matter how noble the original intent of the law might be, it will absolutely be subject to mission creep. After all, the UK has no First Amendment.

So these filters will soon be checking for “antisocial” content as well. In other words, any content that offends the fascist British government.

[The Louiswu]

Everyone is looking for loop holes. Government wants to surveil everything we do and say so the make it about the children, I mean who’s against protecting children even if we have to give up a little more freedom. Pervs want to keep looking at images of kids real or AI so they cry that is art or it’s the government being mean to neurodivergent people.

Much of our world has been brainwashed into believing that there is no wrong and anything a person wants is just dandy, we shouldn’t need government to tell us exploiting children is wrong.

[mewzilla]

The intent by the UK’s Deep State was NEVER noble.

[Brian Griffin]

Mr Refugee should not be refouled because he sold a phone to a kid.

The High Court has been very clear that refoulment for minor offenses will not be permitted.

[Mathews]

It’d be cooler if Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai simply turned their services off in London, Birmingham and Liverpool for a week or two.

Question:

Where are the parents letting their kids own and get these pictures? That should be the first line of defense.
