“The UK government wants technology companies to block explicit images on phones and computers by default to protect children, with adults having to verify their age to create and access such content,” the FT report said. “Ministers want the likes of Apple and Google to incorporate nudity-detection algorithms into their device operating systems to prevent users taking photos or sharing images of genitalia unless they are verified as adults.”

    You don’t even need to be tech savy to setup child lock on a phone, you just need to not be lazy. It’s all in the settings you don’t need to learn coding or anything just click few buttons and read what they do. If parents buys their 10 year old kid an 18+ game and then complains games are too violent it’s the parents fault.

      And unfortunately this is the problem, parents not parenting and not taking accountablility for their own inactions. Its easier to blame tech instead of themselves.

      Clicking a few buttons already does a lot but it also becomes complex quickly.

      For example, gifs accessible via the keyboard can be unsuitable for smaller kids.
