May I see some evidence for that?

Thanks for taking the time to respond. It helped me understand because the ops linked article is an incomprehensible rambling blog post by someone who should be prescribed ai writing tools to improve their output.
As far as I can tell there is no automated reporting in either sensitive content warning or safety core (the android version, which sounds like a music genre) by design and scw is off by default unless you’re a child account and sc is on by default(? Not actually sure about this one, all the Android kid parents I know use third party systems instead of the built in stuff so I’ve literally never seen it in a default state). Which is what I assumed you meant when you said they both already do that.
It’s crazy that they’re trying to shift the enforcement of their age verification law to the device os. Hard to think of a precedent for that!
Oh yeah, the article is written by someone short on facts and large on mouth-foam
The biggest thing for me with this story (in general, not the article linked above) is that it shows how woefully out of touch the UK government is -issuing an ultimatum to phone manufacturers to implement measures which were implemented years ago
No wonder they’re gearing up to give s defence contract to Musk and our health data to Thiel
