“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.”
Puritanical bullshit… what the fuck.

Man, I was at tumblr when this was being implemented. It was so fucking stupid and everyone knew it.
