“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.”

OMG. These plans are getting on my nerves.

When a parent gives a kid their device and sets the child’s birthday, then enable these. If the birthday is over 18, the let them do what they want.

Let parents parent the kid and get the government out of my life.

Or just don’t fucking age gate shit.

Seriously who the fuck cares if a kid sees a titty?

"Content not available in your region" because Imgur has blocked the UK due to the Online Safety Act. Lmao, this is hilarious in a grim way.
