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’.

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.

    I do agree that most people probably don’t change the defaults, but I believe that apple stopped the scan for CSAM years ago on iCloud.

    Also you forgot to account for apps like Signal which store the photos encrypted in their own database.

    This is not as simple as scanned photos, currently apple for example can do this locally on their own apps. The problem is apps like signal.
