New plans to stop children taking, sharing or viewing nude images

4 months ago by General_Effort to c/technology

Britain will become the first country in the world where it is impossible for children to take, share or view naked pictures on their devices.

Looks like some have to the come conclusion that the problem in "1984" was the dangerous lack of surveillance. This is a left-wing (Labour) government, btw.

Stuff like this is why I no longer want regulations to protect us from big tech. Thank you very much.

The UK ain't far behind the US now is it?

Wdym? UK started all of this. They've had age verification working since summer 2025, then EU joined and got it implemented in autumn for many sites like X for example where any NSFW content requires age verification (for more than half a year now), and US only started coming up with similar stupid laws almost a year afterwards.
