UK to legislate forcing Apple, Google to block explicit images on children's phones
Guardian WorldLO·GB · US·2 days ago
The UK government announced plans to introduce legislation requiring tech companies to prevent children from taking or sharing nude images, with a commitment to act 'as soon as they can' while leaving room to reassess if firms voluntarily comply. The move signals regulatory pressure on platforms, though timing and enforcement details remain uncertain. This follows broader UK efforts to strengthen online safety standards.
