UK seeks to mandate Apple and Google block children from nude-image capture, viewing, and sharing
↗
The UK government is moving to require Apple and Google to implement measures that prevent children from taking, viewing, or sharing nude images on their devices, and it has praised Apple's existing age-based restrictions.
This would impose a legal obligation on platform providers to enforce content restrictions at the device level, affecting how Apple and Google design parental controls and content moderation. Engineers building these systems would need to consider age verification and image detection technologies, and the requirement could set a precedent for other regulators.
