Do they actually know how the technology works? They will have to scan everything inbound and outbound connections, basically managed devices.

Apple and Google have been given a three-month ultimatum to make it impossible for children to take, share or view nude images on their smartphones, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Monday.

Not that it's a good thing but don't either of these companies have enough leverage to refuse with practically zero consequences?

4chan didn't care because of the absurd logic and they still haven't been blocked because they know it would be stupid to do so.

Nah. They haven't been blocked because the entire site is based on anonymity and the whole of their business operations don't involve the country in question.

How do you moderate a site when most of the user base are anonymous and don't sign up for accounts? There's nothing to link them back to. How do you prove a child sent anything or received anything with no account? How do you build a paper trail that would support the case against 4chan?
