So what if somebody has nudity in their photos? It’s a perfectly normal thing, provided the photos were taken with consent. It’s never about protecting the children, and the puritanism is simply a peanut butter coating to get busybodies and christians to gobble it up. It’s all surveillance.

Maybe they should put something into the politicians phones to detect corruption
Or just kids nudes.
Me when I take a picture of my booty for my doctor and the state instantly executes me via drone strike
During covid some father had to send photos of his baby to a doctor and google detected it as csam. They nuked all his accounts (including his phone number) reported it to police, who opened a case against him.
What's really alarming is that all these tech firms hire people to look through this stuff manually, and pedos have been known to take this job. Essentially they pay pedos to look at csam all day. And the only way for ai to be accurate at all is for the ai to have been trained on csam. So if any AI company says they can detect csam their admitting that they've downloaded tons of it.
All this control and yet the UK still can't stop race riots from happening. hmmm
All this control so they can keep the race riots happening.
Speaking at London Tech Week on Monday, Starmer said the plan meant the UK would become the first country in the world to make it impossible for children to take, share or view nude images.
“Today, I am calling on tech companies operating in this country to introduce vice controls that prevent children from sending and receiving sexually explicit images. Because this is not an impossible challenge,” he said.
It actually is a virtually impossible challenge, even if not literally impossible. Basically the logistics we're talking about is:
For it to fulfill "take": children can't ever use a camera
For it to fulfill "share": children can't share any images or videos digitally, including via text to people they know
For it to fulfill "view": children can't view any images or videos on a digital device
Under the changes, sexual predators will be prevented from being able to exploit and abuse victims through their devices, and children stopped from being able to access pornography, the Home Office said. Adults will still be able to take, share or view nude content once they have verified their age.
And as if by magic, the sexual predators will cease to exist. Including the abusers who know the children, which from everything I've ever heard over the years, is the more common source of child abuse.
This is 100% (claiming to) treat the symptoms without addressing the root of the problem at all.
Neither Apple nor Google offers a nudity-blocking system that works across the entire operating system.
Yeah because that's an absurd request for technology. Even with privacy issues aside, it's just ridiculous to expect an automated system to block human nudity specifically. Not even getting into the fact that there are legitimate cases where nudity is just nudity, not sexual or sexual exploitation.
Reminds me of the push in the US for banning abortion. "We gotta protect the children," but the logistics of the ban itself, the consequences of enforcing such a thing, are brushed aside. These pants on fire lying servants of empire and capital are afraid that empire and capitalism in decay is going to lead to revolt and they'd rather put more and more money and resources into surveillance and policing than do even mild reforms.
Every serious children's advocacy group has actual recommendations to protect children while not invading privacy. Of course those won't be implemented because the ruling class would be implicated in nasty shit and it wouldn't further their goal of surveilling and censoring the plebs.
Bet there is an exemption for MPs' phones written into any legislation.
