https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/12/uk-to-encourage-apple-and-google-to-put-nudity-blocking-systems-on-phones/

>The UK government reportedly will “encourage” Apple and Google to prevent phones from displaying nude images except when users verify that they are adults.

>The forthcoming push for nudity-blocking systems was reported by the Financial Times today. The report said the UK won’t institute a legal requirement “for now.” But asking companies to block nude images could be the first step toward making it mandatory if the government doesn’t get what it wants.

>The Home Office “has initially focused on mobile devices,” but the push could be expanded to desktops, the FT said. Government officials point out that Microsoft can already scan for “inappropriate content” in Microsoft Teams, the report said.

How would they even enforce this on desktop computers? Outlaw offline/local accounts without government spyware? The lack of control and privacy on smartphones really is cancer.

if it was censorship the porn would be banned. it isnt it needs age verification.

So it will be legal for women go topless on the beach but having a picture of the same on your computer without government permission won't be? UK just gets dumber and dumber.

Set aside your illiteracy and stupidity for a moment and think about how the government going to verify the age in this context. This isn't about websites; this is the devices themselves.

Smaller actually. However, it's been here for thousands of years and conquered half the known world. Yours is a few hundred years old and it's already collapsing at record speed but hey, it was a laugh while it lasted, right?

They're going to 'force' (read: they got this idea from Bill, Larry and Blair in the first place) the big tech boys to implement image classification software (and backdoors) into domestic operating systems. We know they've wanted to do this for a long, long time.

Why? It's not about children, or porn. It's about rooting out the 'troublemakers'- and of course, planting CP on their devices so that when the police party bus arrives, they've got a good reason to lock you up for decades. They can detect any pattern, any image. The 'AI' will tell them what people have an image of 'racist content' on their drives, or 'subversive material' or whatever they're hunting for and they'll know exactly where you are.

Now, for us Linux users, I doubt they'll be able to leverage much pressure but it's not about us - it's about the 99% of other people that are STILL using Apple and Windows.

While you burgers all continue bashing the UK and labeling us cucks, just remember: we're owned and controlled by the same evil puppet masters and your politicians are just as controlled as ours and your average NPCs are just as gullable as ours. So much of your commercial IT has got back doors that the feds can use to spy on you too.

Nobody in either country will do shit about this until it gets unbearable, and we're a long way off that yet.

Here's hoping pigs fly soon.

>>107568358
Are genuinely so dumb that you think the only people that speak your incredibly simple language are from either the US or the UK? The whole world sees you both as one: kike worshipping retards.

Tho, I must admit, everything else you said is (unfortunately) entirety accurate.
>>
>>107568358
Only point of disagreement is Apple and Windows at 99% - Linux is 5% of desktops now and on the way to 10% with microshit's windows 11 BS

As in. Knowing what you're looking at.

if it was censorship from the government i would ban evade it and if it was age verification i would ban evade. i am not going to argue about it - i will just do whatever i want and the government can suck my dick.

We don't get that over here. Ever.
You seem to bitch about it all the time, tho. Hmm.

>fucking a fent zombie female
also something that devestated over your way, not so much over here. Probably something to do with the way your doctors took a backhander to prescribe opiates at every available opportunity, and then the nation of pharmasmackheads decided they've had enough of paying 5x over the odds for the addiction they never asked for and started seeking alternates...

>as he cuts down the last tree in my town
Another 'you' problem. If there's trees still in our towns, they tend to have some measure of protection and are only interfered with to protect something else. There's a push in most places to increase the green..

>government breaks down my door
If you're using something that's impractical to impliment on 90%+ devices already on the market...

>>mandatory hormone replacement treatment in jail
I would normally here request you vacate back to /pol ... But Alan Turing... If that's the way they treat the bloke that literally handed 'em WWII on a platter... Well....
