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.

Obviously protecting children must always be a priority

No it really doesn't have to always be. Protecting children should be balanced against harm to the rest of society. The vast majority of children will thankfully go on to live far more as non-children.

I wasn’t exclusively and aggressively prioritizing children safety over everything else, I was just highlighting the fact that it’s very important and should be correctly prioritized and not in a unilateral way.
