The United Kingdom is preparing legislation to force technology giants to prevent children from taking or sharing nude images through their mobile phones. The British government intends to impose new rules that force companies to implement stricter blocking systems.
Apple and Google have already proposed some measures to protect children, such as the detection of nudity in images. However, the British executive considers that these solutions fall short of the real magnitude of the problem and are not sufficient to protect minors.
The new law aims to create more concrete legal obligations for technology companies, requiring them to develop effective tools to prevent the creation and sharing of explicit content by children. The government understands that the protection of minors online is a priority.
The companies affected by this legislation will be the main technology giants operating in the British market, including Apple and Google, which will need to adapt their operating systems and applications to the new legal requirements.
