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?
